disk: efi: Fix memory leak on 'gpt guid'

Browse Source 
Below is what happens on R-Car H3ULCB-KF using clean U-Boot
v2019.04-00810-g6aebc0d11a10 and r8a7795_ulcb_defconfig:

 => ### interrupt autoboot
 => gpt guid mmc 1
 21200400-0804-0146-9dcc-a8c51255994f
 success!
 => ### keep calling 'gpt guid mmc 1'
 => ### on 59th call, we are out of memory:
 => gpt guid mmc 1
 alloc_read_gpt_entries: ERROR: Can't allocate 0X4000 bytes for GPT Entries
 GPT: Failed to allocate memory for PTE
 get_disk_guid: *** ERROR: Invalid GPT ***
 alloc_read_gpt_entries: ERROR: Can't allocate 0X4000 bytes for GPT Entries
 GPT: Failed to allocate memory for PTE
 get_disk_guid: *** ERROR: Invalid Backup GPT ***
 error!

After some inspection, it looks like get_disk_guid(), added via v2017.09
commit 73d6d18b7147c9 ("GPT: add accessor function for disk GUID"),
unlike other callers of is_gpt_valid(), doesn't free the memory pointed
out by 'gpt_entry *gpt_pte'. The latter is allocated by is_gpt_valid()
via alloc_read_gpt_entries().

With the fix applied, the reproduction scenario has been run hundreds
of times ('while true; do gpt guid mmc 1; done') w/o running into OOM.

Fixes: 73d6d18b7147c9 ("GPT: add accessor function for disk GUID")
