Build break (uninitialized variable)

The compiler complains about `totsize' being possibly uninitialized
in grub-core/disk/diskfilter.c, function grub_diskfilter_make_raid().
I get this error with gcc 4.5.3 on NetBSD, and also with gcc 4.6.2 on
Debian GNU/Linux.

I'm not familiar with that code.  The attached patch fixes this by
returning NULL when the argument `level' has an unexpected value.
