Subject: [PATCH] mm/page_alloc: check return value of memblock_alloc_node_nopanic()

There are two early memory allocations that use
memblock_alloc_node_nopanic() and do not check its return value.
While this happens very early during boot and chances that the allocation
will fail are diminishing, it is still worth to have proper checks for the
allocation errors.
