Subject: [PATCH] libnvdimm, btt: check memory allocation failure

Check memory allocation failures and return -ENOMEM in such cases, as
already done few lines below for another memory allocation.

This avoids NULL pointers dereference.

Fixes: 14e494542636 ("libnvdimm, btt: BTT updates for UEFI 2.7 format")
