[PATCH v2 4/6] devres: handle zero size in devm_kmalloc()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski
Date: Mon Jun 29 2020 - 16:51:34 EST


From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Make devm_kmalloc() behave similarly to non-managed kmalloc(): return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR when requested size is 0. Update devm_kfree() to handle
this case.
