bootmem: make ___alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() really nopanic
In reaction to commit 99ab7b19440a ("mm: sparse: fix usemap allocation
above node descriptor section") Johannes said:
| while backporting the below patch, I realised that your fix busted
| f5bf18fa22f8 again. The problem was not a panicking version on
| allocation failure but when the usemap size was too large such that
| goal + size > limit triggers the BUG_ON in the bootmem allocator. So
| we need a version that passes limit ONLY if the usemap is smaller than
| the section.
after checking the code, the name of ___alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic()
does not reflect the fact.
Make bootmem really not panic.
Hope will kill bootmem sooner.
