Linus reported that commit
174cc7187e6f "ACPICA: Tables: Back port
acpi_get_table_with_size() and early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() from
Linux kernel" added a new warning on his desktop system:
ACPI Warning: Table
ffffffff9fe6c0a0, Validation count is zero before decrement
which turns out to come from the acpi_put_table() in
detect_intel_iommu().
This happens if the DMAR table is not present in which case NULL is
passed to acpi_put_table() which doesn't check against that and
attempts to handle it regardless.
For this reason, check the pointer passed to acpi_put_table()
before invoking it.
