commit dae68d7fd4930315389117e9da35b763f12238f9 upstream.
If context is not NULL in acpiphp_grab_context(), but the
is_going_away flag is set for the device's parent, the reference
counter of the context needs to be decremented before returning
NULL or the context will never be freed, so make that happen.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
