Subject: x86/kasan: Panic if there is not enough memory to boot

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@virtuozzo.com>

commit 0d39e2669d7b0fefd2d8f9e7868ae669b364d9ba upstream.

Currently KASAN doesn't panic in case it don't have enough memory
to boot. Instead, it crashes in some random place:

 kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:27!

 RIP: 0010:__phys_addr+0x268/0x276
 Call Trace:
  kasan_populate_shadow+0x3f2/0x497
  kasan_init+0x12e/0x2b2
  setup_arch+0x2825/0x2a2c
  start_kernel+0xc8/0x15f4
  x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c
  x86_64_start_kernel+0x72/0x75
  secondary_startup_64+0xa5/0xb0

Use memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid() for allocations without failure
fallback. It will panic with an out of memory message.
