ceval.c: Missing PyErr_NoMemory in _PyObjectArray_FromStackRefArray + PyEval_GetLocals NULL deref

Summary

  1. _PyObjectArray_FromStackRefArray (line 1112): PyMem_Malloc returns NULL without exception. Affects ~10 vectorcall functions → SystemError.
  2. PyEval_GetLocals (line 2622): _PyFrame_GetFrameObject can return NULL, immediately dereferenced → segfault.

Fix

  1. Add PyErr_NoMemory() after PyMem_Malloc failure.
  2. Add NULL check after _PyFrame_GetFrameObject.

But the second _PyFrame_GetFrameObject issue is already resolved by #146124
