[PATCH v2 08/12] kasan, mm: optimize krealloc poisoning

Currently, krealloc() always calls ksize(), which unpoisons the whole
object including the redzone. This is inefficient, as kasan_krealloc()
repoisons the redzone for objects that fit into the same buffer.

This patch changes krealloc() instrumentation to use uninstrumented
__ksize() that doesn't unpoison the memory. Instead, kasan_kreallos()
is changed to unpoison the memory excluding the redzone.

For objects that don't fit into the old allocation, this patch disables
KASAN accessibility checks when copying memory into a new object instead
of unpoisoning it.
