When query handler is not found, "result" is actually stil 0, and "struct acpi_ec_query" is not NULL, so the deletion code of "struct acpi_ec_query" at the end of the function cannot be invoked. As a consequence, memory leak can be observed.
The issue is introduced by this commit: Commit: 02b771b64b73226052d6e731a0987db3b47281e9 Subject: ACPI / EC: Fix an issue caused by the serialized _Qxx This patch fixes such memory leakage.
