[PATCH 1/2] memblock: add assertion for zero allocation size

[Vineet Gupta <Vineet.Gupta1@synopsys.com>]

This came to light when calling memblock allocator from arc port (for
copying flattended DT). If a "0" alignment is passed, the allocator
round_up() call incorrectly rounds up the size to 0.

round_up(num, alignto) => ((num - 1) | (alignto -1)) + 1

While the obvious allocation failure causes kernel to panic, it is
better to BUG_ON() if effective size for allocation (as passed by caller
and/or computed after alignemtn rounding) is zero.
