bootmem: make ___alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic() really nopanic
In reaction to commit 99ab7b19 ("mm: sparse: fix usemap allocation above node descriptor section") Johannes said: | while backporting the below patch, I realised that your fix busted | f5bf18fa 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.
