partmap/msdos: Add missing grub_malloc() failure check

Browse Source 
This patch adds a NULL check after grub_malloc() call. Missing a failure
check after calling grub_malloc() can lead to undefined behavior. If the
allocation fails and returns NULL subsequent dereferencing or writing to
the pointer will likely result in a runtime error such as a segmentation
fault.
