efi: fix memory leak in krealloc failure handling

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 0d3ad19179 ]

In the previous code, there was a memory leak issue where the
previously allocated memory was not freed upon a failed krealloc
operation. This patch addresses the problem by releasing the old memory
before setting the pointer to NULL in case of a krealloc failure. This
ensures that memory is properly managed and avoids potential memory
leaks.
