Add panic() calls if memblock_alloc() returns NULL.

The panic() format duplicates the one used by memblock itself and in order to avoid explosion with long parameters list replace open coded allocation size calculations with a local variable.

This patch is a part of a series that removes panic() calls from memblock allocators rather than a fix.

I've dropped it, thanks!
