acpi: pdc init related memory leak with physical CPU hotplug

Commit Message

venkip June 20, 2009, 12:14 a.m. UTC

arch_acpi_processor_cleanup_pdc() in x86 and ia64 results in memory allocated
for _PDC objects that is never freed and will cause memory leak in case of
physical CPU remove and add. Patch fixes the memory leak by freeing the
objects soon after _PDC is evaluated.
