What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tpm: acpi: Call acpi_put_table() to fix memory leak

The start and length of the event log area are obtained from

TPM2 or TCPA table, so we call acpi_get_table() to get the

ACPI information, but the acpi_get_table() should be coupled with

acpi_put_table() to release the ACPI memory, add the acpi_put_table()

properly to fix the memory leak.

While we are at it, remove the redundant empty line at the

end of the tpm_read_log_acpi().
