[PATCH 07/12] kasan, mm: remove krealloc side-effect

Currently, if krealloc() is called on a freed object with KASAN enabled,
it allocates and returns a new object, but doesn't copy any memory from
the old one as ksize() returns 0. This makes a caller believe that
krealloc() succeeded (KASAN report is printed though).

This patch adds an accessibility check into __do_krealloc(). If the check
fails, krealloc() returns NULL. This check duplicates the one in ksize();
this is fixed in the following patch.

This patch also adds a KASAN-KUnit test to check krealloc() behaviour
when it's called on a freed object.
