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

In acpi_db_add_to_history() acpi_os_allocate() 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.
