Even in init the allocation can fail and thus should at least warn so
that the cause can be identified.

Problem located with an experimental coccinelle script

Note sure if there is a better solution as this is early in the boot
process so not that could be done anyway but fuss - anyway unchecked
allocation is not a good thing.

Patch was compile-tested with: imx_v4_v5_defconfig (implies
CONFIG_MACH_MX27ADS=y)
(with some unrelated sparse warnings about unimplemented syscalls
 and a few checkpatch warnings - covered in the other patches)

Patch is against 5.1-rc4 (localversion-next is 20190412)
