Please make it clear that failure is in memblock_double_array(), e.g.
But when memblock_double_array() is called before memblock_can_resize
is true, it is hard to understand the actual reason for the failure.

Most of the time memblock uses %llu and cast to u64 to print size, please
make this consistent.
