init/initramfs: Fix argument forwarding to panic() in panic_show_mem()

Forwarding variadic argument lists can't be done by passing a va_list to a function with signature foo(...) (as panic() has). It ends up interpreting the va_list itself as a single argument instead of iterating it. printf() happily accepts it of course, leading to corrupt output. Convert panic_show_mem() to a macro to allow forwarding the arguments. The function is trivial enough that it's easier than trying to introduce a vpanic() variant.
