net: thunderx: Fix the ACPI memory leak

[ Upstream commit 661e5ebbafd26d9d2e3c749f5cf591e55c7364f5 ]

The ACPI buffer memory (string.pointer) should be freed as the buffer is
not used after returning from bgx_acpi_match_id(), free it to prevent
memory leak.

Fixes: 46b903a01c05 ("net, thunder, bgx: Add support to get MAC address from ACPI.")
