[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] GPT: incomplete initialization in allocate_disk_part

memset(newpart, '\0', sizeof(newpart));
only initializes the firest 4 or 8 bytes of *newpart and not the whole
structure disk_part.
We should use sizeof(struct disk_part).
Instead of malloc and memset we can use calloc.
Identified by cppcheck.
Fixes: 09a49930e41 GPT: read partition table from device into a data structure
