Implement the managed variant of krealloc(). This function works with
all memory allocated by devm_kmalloc() (or devres functions using it
implicitly like devm_kmemdup(), devm_kstrdup() etc.).

Managed realloc'ed chunks can be manually released with devm_kfree().

I'm fine with above, but here is a side note, perhaps

	offsetof(struct devres,	data)

will be more practical (no duplication of alignment and hence slightly better
maintenance)? (Note, I didn't check if it provides the correct result)

Another side note: do we have existing users of these helpers?
