[PATCH v4 06/19] mm/sparse: Panic on memmap and usemap allocation failure

[Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>]

When vmemmap or usemap allocation fails, sparse_init_nid() currently
marks the section non-present and continues. Later boot-time code can
still walk PFNs in that section without checking for this partial setup,
which leads to invalid accesses. subsection_map_init() can also touch an
unallocated usemap.

Auditing and fixing all early PFN walkers for this case is not worth the
complexity. These allocation failures are expected to be fatal anyway,
and other memory models already treat them that way.

Make memmap and usemap allocation failures panic immediately instead of
trying to recover and crashing later in less obvious ways. This is also
consistent with how other memory model configurations handle memmap
allocation failures.
