acer-wmi: fix memory leaks in wmab_execute error path

When acpi_evaluate_object() is passed ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, the caller
must kfree the returned buffer if AE_OK is returned.

Call Trace:
wmab_execute
  -> wmi_evaluate_method
    -> acpi_evaluate_object

Thus if callers of wmab_execute() pass ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, the return
buffer must be kfreed if wmab_execute return AE_OK.
