dmg: avoid out-of-bounds memory load in dmg_read_mish_block()
dmg_read_mish_block() loads from memory beyond the end of the buffer
when count is less than 4.
There is no known security impact here because dmg_read_mish_block()
returns almost immediately without any opportunity to gain control of
execution or cause other damage. A crash will not happen because it's a
32-bit load from a memory address that was just heap allocated. The
address will be properly aligned and will not span a page of memory.
