[PATCH 5.4] ACPICA: Always create namespace nodes using acpi_ns_create_node()
From: Jason A. Donenfeld

commit 25928deeb1e4e2cdae1dccff349320c6841eb5f8 upstream.
ACPICA commit 29da9a2a3f5b2c60420893e5c6309a0586d7a329
ACPI is allocating an object using kmalloc(), but then frees it
using kmem_cache_free(<"Acpi-Namespace" kmem_cache>).
This is wrong and can lead to boot failures manifesting like this:
hpet0: 3 comparators, 64-bit 100.000000 MHz counter
clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc-early
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 000000003ffe0018
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

Bisection leads to unrelated changes in slab; Vlastimil Babka
suggests an unrelated layout or slab merge change merely exposed
the underlying bug.

Greg/Rafael - tihs was marked as 5.10, but 5.4 crashes without it. So
maybe it was mistagged? Will let you guys decide. -Jason
