Subject: [PATCH] devres: zero the memory in devm_krealloc() if needed

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@...libre.com>

If we're returning the same pointer (when new size is smaller or equal
to the old size) we need to check if the user wants the memory zeroed
and memset() it manually if so.

Fixes: f82485722e5d devres: provide devm_krealloc()
