commit f16eb8a4b096514ac06fb25bf599dcc792899b3d upstream.
If SSDT overlay is loaded via ConfigFS and then unloaded the device, we would like to have OF modalias for, already gone. Thus, acpi_get_name() returns no allocated buffer for such case and kernel crashes afterwards:

In order to fix above let create_of_modalias() check the status returned by acpi_get_name() and bail out in case of failure.
