[host_memory] remove unused fastmem fallback path (#3133)

basically nobody ever used that path, we instead soft-crash upon not being able to allocate **backing** storage, we do still attempt to allocate a virtual base through, but if backing storage fails for any reason whatsoever, we pretty much cant run the emulator anyways
