Add check for the return value of memblock_alloc*() functions and call
panic() in case of error.
The panic message repeats the one used by panicing memblock allocators with
adjustment of parameters to include only relevant ones.
The replacement was mostly automated with semantic patches like the one
below with manual massaging of format strings.

memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() does not panic (help explicitly says: Does not
zero allocated memory, does not panic if request cannot be satisfied.).
"Does not panic" does not mean it always succeeds.
I agree, but at least here you are changing the behaviour by making it
panic explicitly. Are we sure there are not cases where the system could
just continue functionning ? Maybe a WARN_ON() would be enough there ?

Stephen Rothwell reports a boot failure due to this change.
Please see my reply on that thread.
