mm: kvmalloc: align kvrealloc() with krealloc()

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.

Besides that, implementing kvrealloc() by making use of krealloc() and
vrealloc() 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.
