Subject: [PATCH v6 04/26] rust: alloc: implement `Allocator` for `Kmalloc`

Implement `Allocator` for `Kmalloc`, the kernel's default allocator,
typically used for objects smaller than page size.

All memory allocations made with `Kmalloc` end up in `krealloc()`.

It serves as allocator for the subsequently introduced types `KBox` and
`KVec`.
