    nvramtool: cmos_read(): Use malloc() instead of alloca()
    
    Fixes crash occurring when 'nvramtool -a' tried to free a prematurely
    freed pointer. (Tested on x60)
    
    malloc() is correct because the pointer is accessed outside the calling
    function. The pointer is freed in the parent function list_cmos_entry().
