3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: "David E. Box" <[email protected]> commit e23d9b8297546c6ceb7e70771e4915f2a41733cd upstream. Fixes a bug exposed by an ACPICA unit test around the acpi_attach_data()/acpi_detach_data() APIs where the failure to null terminate a detached object led to the creation of a circular linked list (and infinite looping) when the object is reattached.
