[SRU][O][PATCH 4/6] ACPI: video: Fix random crashes due to bad kfree()

Commit c6a837088bed ("drm/amd/display: Fetch the EDID from _DDC if
available for eDP") added function dm_helpers_probe_acpi_edid(), which
fetches the EDID from the BIOS by calling acpi_video_get_edid().

acpi_video_get_edid() returns a pointer to the EDID, but this pointer
does not originate from kmalloc() - it is actually the internal
"pointer" field from an acpi_buffer struct (which did come from
kmalloc()).

dm_helpers_probe_acpi_edid() then attempts to kfree() the EDID pointer,
resulting in memory corruption which leads to random, intermittent
crashes (e.g. 4% of boots will fail with some Oops).

Fix this by allocating a new array (which can be safely freed) for the
EDID data, and correctly freeing the acpi_buffer pointer.

The only other caller of acpi_video_get_edid() is nouveau_acpi_edid():
remove the extraneous kmemdup() here as the EDID data is now copied in
acpi_video_device_EDID().
