Subject: [PATCH 1/8] mm: slab: provide krealloc_array()

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

When allocating an array of elements, users should check for
multiplication overflow or preferably use one of the provided helpers
like: kmalloc_array().

There's no krealloc_array() counterpart but there are many users who use
regular krealloc() to reallocate arrays. Let's provide an actual
krealloc_array() implementation.
