If a driver/subsystem tries to do an allocation after memblocks 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. This is handled by the memblocks 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.
