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.

Ugh, forgot to run checkpatch.pl until it was too late :/

If there's no need for a v2, please wrap the above line and...

unwrap this string like this:
    "%s: Failed to allocate metadata memory for early boot range of size %llu",

Silly mistake...

Probably easier to send v2.

Otherwise looks good.
