memblock: report failures when memblock_can_resize is not set

Browse Source 
The callers of memblock_reserve() do not check the return value
presuming that memblock_reserve() always succeeds, but there are
cases where it may fail.

Having numerous memblock reservations at early boot where
memblock_can_resize is unset may exhaust the INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS sized
memblock.reserved regions array and an attempt to double this array via
memblock_double_array() will fail and will return -1 to the caller.

When this happens the system crashes anyway, but it's hard to identify
the reason for the crash.

Add a panic message to memblock_double_array() to aid debugging of the
cases when too many regions are reserved before memblock can resize
memblock.reserved array.
