[FLINK-2076] [runtime] Fix memory leakage in MutableHashTable Hi. This PR contains a bug fix for [FLINK-2076](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2076). When `prepareNextPartition` method runs with some pending partitions, the memory leakage can occur at `memory.add(getNextBuffer())` statement (Line 515, 516). In common case, there are extra memory spaces for hash table so first and second call of `getNextBuffer()` return memory segment. But in extreme case such as a case described in JIRA, the second call of `getNextBuffer()` can return null and this null makes the memory leakage.
