This patch series primarily deals with a potential UAF inside
the dell-smbios-wmi driver reported by a user. The first patch
fixes this issue, with the remaining two patches further
cleaning up the resource management.

All patches have been tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505 and appear
to work. I also verified that the UAF issue does not occur anymore
after applying the first patch.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-next branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-next branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.

FYI [if applicable to your patch], as per Linus' policy change, also
fixes are mostly routed through for-next unless the fix is for a
commit introduced in the most recent cycle or is clearly a regression
fix.

Thank you :)
