Check the return value of kcalloc() and panic() if memory allocation
fails.
Compile-tested only.

Changes in v2:
- Panic instead of failing gracefully by returning early after feedback
from Russell King
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20240628194350.542376-2-thorsten.blum@toblux.com/
