ACPICA: debugger: check status of acpi_evaluate_object in acpi_db_walk_for_fields

Errors in acpi_evaluate_object can lead to incorrect state of buffer.
This can lead to access to data in previously ACPI_FREEd buffer and
secondary ACPI_FREE to the same buffer later.

Handle errors in acpi_evaluate_object the same way it is done earlier
with acpi_ns_handle_to_pathname.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 5fd033288a86 ("ACPICA: debugger: add command to dump all fields 
of particular subtype")

This is ACPICA code which comes from a separate project.

The way to change it is to submit a pull request with the desired change
to the upstream ACPICA project on GitHub and add a Link tag pointing
to the upstream PR to the corresponding Linux patch.  Then, the Linux
patch can only be applied after the corresponding upstream PR has been
merged.

Thanks!
