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

From: Danilo Krummrich dakr@kernel.org
commit 61c004781d6b928443052e7a6cf84b35d4f61401 upstream.
Implement `Allocator` for `Vmalloc`, the kernel's virtually contiguous allocator, typically used for larger objects, (much) larger than page size.
All memory allocations made with `Vmalloc` end up in `vrealloc()`.
