Yeah so I had this concern for devm_krealloc() and even sent a patch
that extended it to honor __GFP_ZERO before I noticed that regular
krealloc() silently ignores __GFP_ZERO. I'm not sure if this is on
purpose. Maybe we should either make krealloc() honor __GFP_ZERO or
explicitly state in its documentation that it ignores it?

And my voice here is to ignore for the same reasons: respect
realloc(3) and making common sense with the idea of REallocating
(capital letters on purpose).
