Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: use krealloc() in nf_conntrack_extend.c

From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@...helsinki.fi>

The ksize() API is going away because it is being abused and it doesn't even
work consistenly across different allocators. Therefore, convert the use 
of ksize() in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_extend.c to krealloc() that is 
open-coded there.
