Subject: [PATCH 3/8] cleanup careful_allocation(): bootmem already panics

From: Dave Hansen <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 09 Dec 2008 10:21:33 -0800

If we fail a bootmem allocation, the bootmem code itself
panics.  No need to redo it here.

Also change the wording of the other panic.  We don't
strictly have to allocate memory on the specified node.
It is just a hint and that node may not even *have* any
memory on it.  In that case we can and do fall back to
other nodes.
