Below is what happens on R-Car H3ULCB-KF using clean U-Boot

  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.
