net: thunderx: Fix the ACPI memory leak

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 661e5ebbaf ]

The ACPI buffer memory (string.pointer) should be freed as the buffer is
not used after returning from bgx_acpi_match_id(), free it to prevent
memory leak.

Fixes: 46b903a01c ("net, thunder, bgx: Add support to get MAC address from ACPI.")
