[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18-6.12] riscv: panic if IRQ handler stacks cannot be allocated

[ Upstream commit 2abd0dba562551d5c27f97ce560684f534c0cf3a ]

init_irq_stacks() and init_irq_scs() may fail when arch_alloc_vmap_stack
or scs_alloc return NULL, call panic() in this case.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

The branch check finished: `2abd0dba56255` ("riscv: panic if IRQ handler
stacks cannot be allocated") is on `master` and the `-next` integration
branches, but not on the current `v6.18.44` stable tree. That matches
the earlier **YES** backport recommendation — the fix is mainline-only
and still needs to be cherry-picked into 6.18.y.
