[lvc-project] [PATCH] ACPICA: Handle memory allocation failure

In acpi_db_convert_to_package() ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED() may return NULL
in case of memory allocation error. This will lead to NULL pointer
dereference.
Fix this bug by adding NULL return check.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
