mm: slab: provide krealloc_array()



When allocating an array of elements, users should check for
multiplication overflow or preferably use one of the provided helpers
like: kmalloc_array().

There's no krealloc_array() counterpart but there are many users who use
regular krealloc() to reallocate arrays.  Let's provide an actual
krealloc_array() implementation.

While at it: add some documentation regarding krealloc.
