Subject: acpi-cpufreq: fix a memleak when unloading driver
From: Zhang Rui <[email protected]>
commit dab5fff14df2cd16eb1ad4c02e83915e1063fece upstream.
We didn't free per_cpu(acfreq_data, cpu)->freq_table
when acpi_freq driver is unloaded.
Resulting in the following messages in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xf6450e80 (size 64):
comm "modprobe", pid 1066, jiffies 4294677317 (age 19290.453s)
