This is in line with memory_dev_init(), which initializes the memory
device subsystem and creates all memory block devices.

Similar to memory_dev_init(), panic() if anything goes wrong, we don't
want to continue with such basic initialization errors.

The important part is that node_dev_init() gets called after
memory_dev_init() and after cpu_dev_init(), but before any of the
relevant archs call register_cpu() to register the new cpu device under
the node device. The latter should be the case for the current users
of topology_init().

If there are no further comments, then I'll resend as !RFC with a
slightly extended patch description, testing at least under arm64 and
ppc64 as they are relatively easy to test for me.
