platform/x86: alienware-wmi: fix kfree on potentially uninitialized pointer
Currently the kfree of output.pointer can be potentially freeing an uninitalized pointer in the case where out_data is NULL. Fix this by reworking the case where out_data is not-null to perform the ACPI status check and also the kfree of outpoint.pointer in one block and hence ensuring the pointer is only freed when it has been used. Also replace the if (ptr != NULL) idiom with just if (ptr).
