kernel/panic: mark init_taint_buf as __initdata and panic instead of warning in alloc_taint_buf()

However there's a convention of assuming that __init-time allocations
cannot fail.  Because if a kmalloc() were to fail at this time, the kernel
is hopelessly messed up anyway.  So simply panic() if that kmalloc failed,
then make that 350-byte buffer __initdata.
