[PATCH] cpupower: Fix NULL pointer dereference on allocation failure

[Malaya Kumar Rout]

The bitmask_alloc() function can return NULL if memory allocation fails,
but the code in main() does not check the return values before using the
allocated bitmasks. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference when
bitmask_setall() or bitmask_parselist() is called with NULL pointers.

Add proper NULL checks after bitmask allocations and exit gracefully with
an error message if allocation fails.
