driver/base/memory.c: validate memory block size early
Let's validate the memory block size early, when initializing the memory
device infrastructure. Fail hard in case the value is not suitable.
As nobody checks the return value of memory_dev_init(), turn it into a
void function and fail with a panic in all scenarios instead. Otherwise,
we'll crash later during boot when core/drivers expect that the memory
device infrastructure (including memory_block_size_bytes()) works as
expected.
I think long term, we should move the whole memory block size
configuration (set_memory_block_size_order() and
memory_block_size_bytes()) into drivers/base/memory.c.
