treewide: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()
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.

Which is just adding the panic we hit. So, presumably, the bug is in a
preceding patch :-(
I have left the kernel not booting for today.
No I think the error is really in that patch, see my other mail.
See
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.0-rc4/source/mm/memblock.c#L1455,
memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() is not supposed to panic, so the last hunk
of this patch should be reverted.
