rust: alloc: implement `ReallocFunc`

`ReallocFunc` is an abstraction for the kernel's realloc derivates, such
as `krealloc`, `vrealloc` and `kvrealloc`.

All of the named functions share the same function signature and
implement the same semantics. The `ReallocFunc` abstractions provides a
generalized wrapper around those, to trivialize the implementation of
`Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` and `KVmalloc` in subsequent patches.
