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.

for eDP")

Changes in v2:
        - check kmemdup() return value
        - move buffer management into acpi_video_device_EDID()
        - return actual length value of buffer
