All other calls to allocate memory seem to make some noise already, with the
exception of two calls (for gop, uga) in the setup_graphics path.
The purpose is to be noisy on worrysome errors immediately.
commit fb86b2440d ("x86/efi: Add better error logging to EFI boot
stub") introduces printing false alarms for lots of hardware. Rather
than playing Whack a Mole with non-fatal exit conditions, try the other
way round.
This is per Matt Fleming's suggestion:
