initramfs: panic with memory information
On systems with large amounts of reserved memory we may fail to successfully complete unpack_to_rootfs() and be left with: Kernel panic - not syncing: write error this is not too helpful to understand what happened, so let's wrap the panic() calls with a surrounding show_mem() such that we have a chance of understanding the memory conditions leading to these allocation failures.
