Andy Shevchenko c19b967348 ACPI / device_sysfs: Avoid OF modalias creation for removed device
commit f16eb8a4b0 upstream.

If SSDT overlay is loaded via ConfigFS and then unloaded the device,
we would like to have OF modalias for, already gone. Thus, acpi_get_name()
returns no allocated buffer for such case and kernel crashes afterwards:

 ...

In order to fix above let create_of_modalias() check the status returned
by acpi_get_name() and bail out in case of failure.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
