[PATCHv2] cmd/gpt: Address error cases during gpt rename more correctly

New analysis by the tool has shown that we have some cases where we
weren't handling the error exit condition correctly.  When we ran into
the ENOMEM case we wouldn't exit the function and thus incorrect things
could happen.  Rework the unwinding such that we don't need a helper
function now and free what we may have allocated.

Changes in v2:
- Initialize str_disk_guid to NULL to be sure we can test that it has
  been set later on (Simon, Jordy).
