[PATCH 3/3] mm, sparse: don't check return value of alloc_bootmem calls

From: Sasha Levin <hidden>
Date: 2012-12-23 20:16:49
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - core, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

There's no need to check the result of alloc_bootmem() functions since
they'll panic if allocation fails.
