Attempting to run the sandbox leads to a segfault, because some dynamic
libraries (outside of u-boot) attempt to use malloc() to allocate memory
before u-boot's gd variable is initialized.
Check for gd not being NULL in the SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN handling, so that
malloc() doesn't crash when called at this point.
$ gdb -q --args ./u-boot
(gdb) r
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
