drivers/macintosh: Fix memleak in windfarm_pm112 driver



commit 93900337b9ac2f4eca427eff6d187be2dc3b5551 upstream.

create_cpu_loop() calls smu_sat_get_sdb_partition() which does
kmalloc() and returns the allocated buffer. In fact it's called twice,
and neither buffer is freed.

This results in a memory leak as reported by Erhard:
  unreferenced object 0xc00000047081f840 (size 32):
    comm "kwindfarm", pid 203, jiffies 4294880630 (age 5552.877s)

Fix it by rearranging the logic so we deal with each buffer
separately, which then makes it easy to free the buffer once we're
done with it.
