Subject: [PATCH] mm: kmsan: Panic on failure to allocate early boot metadata

Given large enough allocations and a machine with low enough memory (i.e
a default QEMU VM), it's entirely possible that
kmsan_init_alloc_meta_for_range's shadow+origin allocation fails.

Instead of eating a NULL deref kernel oops, check explicitly for memblock_alloc()
failure and panic with a nice error message.
