Yes, thanks for catching this!

Yeah, I added examples in documentation with asserts that work as
tests in kunit in v3.

It sounds reasonable to me, with one caveat: the information of how
much extra space was allocated should come from `krealloc_aligned`.
IOW, we shouldn't have callers use implementation details from
`krealloc_aligned`. (One possible way to do it is to return the actual
allocated length in addition to the pointer to the allocated block.)

They are the functions that make this possible :)
