[PATCH] Implement kasprintf

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Implement kasprintf, a kernel version of asprintf.  This allocates the
memory required for the formatted string, including the trailing '\0'.
Returns NULL on allocation failure.

Requires vsnprintf to accept a NULL buffer when the buffer size is 0.
