mm: vmalloc: implement vrealloc()

Patch series "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()", v2.

Besides the obvious (and desired) difference between krealloc() and
kvrealloc(), there is some inconsistency in their function signatures and
behavior:

 - krealloc() frees the memory when the requested size is zero, whereas
   kvrealloc() simply returns a pointer to the existing allocation.

 - krealloc() behaves like kmalloc() if a NULL pointer is passed, whereas
   kvrealloc() does not accept a NULL pointer at all and, if passed, would fault
   instead.

 - krealloc() is self-contained, whereas kvrealloc() relies on the caller to
   provide the size of the previous allocation.

Inconsistent behavior throughout allocation APIs is error prone, hence
make kvrealloc() behave like krealloc(), which seems superior in all
mentioned aspects.

In order to be able to get rid of kvrealloc()'s oldsize parameter,
introduce vrealloc() and make use of it in kvrealloc().

Making use of vrealloc() in kvrealloc() also provides oppertunities to
grow (and shrink) allocations more efficiently.  For instance, vrealloc()
can be optimized to allocate and map additional pages to grow the
allocation or unmap and free unused pages to shrink the allocation.

Besides the above, those functions are required by Rust's allocator abstractons
[1] (rework based on this series in [2]). With `Vec` or `KVec` respectively,
potentially growing (and shrinking) data structures are rather common.

This patch (of 2):

Implement vrealloc() analogous to krealloc().

Currently, krealloc() requires the caller to pass the size of the previous
memory allocation, which, instead, should be self-contained.

We attempt to fix this in a subsequent patch which, in order to do so,
requires vrealloc().

Besides that, we need realloc() functions for kernel allocators in Rust
too.  With `Vec` or `KVec` respectively, potentially growing (and
shrinking) data structures are rather common.
