memblock: Move late alloc warning down to phys alloc
If a driver/subsystem tries to do an allocation after the memblock allocations have been freed and the memory handed to the buddy allocator, it will not actually be legal to use that allocation: the buddy allocator owns the memory. Currently this mis-use is handled by the memblock function which does allocations and returns virtual addresses by printing a warning and doing a kmalloc instead. However the physical allocation function does not to do this check - callers of the physical alloc function are unprotected against mis-use. Improve the error catching here by moving the check into the physical allocation function which is used by the virtual addr allocation function.
