6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Danilo Krummrich dakr@kernel.org
commit a34822d1c4c93085f635b922441a017bd7e959b0 upstream.
Implement `Allocator` for `Kmalloc`, the kernel's default allocator, typically used for objects smaller than page size.
All memory allocations made with `Kmalloc` end up in `krealloc()`.
It serves as allocator for the subsequently introduced types `KBox` and `KVec`.
