Subject: [PATCH] Fix buffer overrun due DEFAULT_LOADER length miscalculation

The DEFAULT_LOADER is a UCS-2 string and the StrLen() function returns the
number of UCS-2 encoded characters in the string. But the allocated memory
is in bytes, so only half of the needed memory to store it is allocated.

This leads to a buffer overrun when the StrCpy() function attempts to copy
the DEFAULT_LOADER to the allocated buffer.

Fixes: 354bd9b1931 ("Actually check for errors from set_second_stage()")
