[PATCH] makedumpfile: Improve error handing when SIZE(nodemask_t) is undefined

Hi,
I accidentally used a new makedumpfile with an old VMCOREINFO that did
not contain the SIZE(nodemask_t). Then len was -1, and malloc(-1)
failed. Which looked like memory was too low.
This patch just improves the error message in that case so that the
user knows what is wrong.
