[IA64] panic if topology_init kzalloc fails
There really is no sense trying to continue if the kzalloc of sysfs_cpus[]
fails in ia64 topology_init. The code calling into here doesn't check
errors very well, and one ends up with a nonobvious boot failure that
wastes peoples time debugging.
See for example the lkml thread at:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/3/2/215
Since the system is totally dead when this kzalloc fails, not having yet
even booted, might as well announce one's death boldly and plainly.
