We used to only allocate the device parameter when parsing a MBR from
disk, but not when creating the partition dynamically at runtime.

This didn't cause acute problems until we started freeing the parameter
again and triggering a NULL pointer dereference when removing dynamically
created partitions.

Fix this by always allocating the parameter.

We used to only allocate the device parameter when parsing a GPT from
disk, but not when creating the partition dynamically at runtime.

This didn't cause acute problems until we started freeing the parameter
again and triggering a NULL pointer dereference when removing dynamically
created partitions.

Fix this by always allocating the parameter.
