Subject: [RFC PATCH 03/15] mm/vmalloc: introduce new vrealloc() call and its subsidiary reach analog

Function changes the size of virtual contigues memory, previously
allocated by vmalloc().

vrealloc() under the hood does the following:

 1. allocates new vm area based on the alignment of the old one.
 2. allocates pages array for a new vm area.
 3. fill in ->pages array taking pages from the old area increasing
    page ref.

    In case of virtual size grow (old_size < new_size) new pages
    for a new area are allocated using gfp passed by the caller.

Basically vrealloc() repeats glibc realloc() with only one big difference:
old area is not freed, i.e. caller is responsible for calling vfree() in
case of successfull reallocation.

Why vfree() is not called for old area directly from vrealloc()?  Because
sometimes it is better just to have transaction-like reallocation for
several pointers and reallocate all at once, i.e.:

  new_p1 = vrealloc(p1, new_len);
  new_p2 = vrealloc(p2, new_len);
  if (!new_p1 || !new_p2) {
	vfree(new_p1);
	vfree(new_p2);
	return -ENOMEM;
  }

  vfree(p1);
  vfree(p2);

  p1 = new_p1;
  p2 = new_p2;
