[PATCH v9 04/29] rust: alloc: implement `ReallocFunc`
From: Danilo Krummrich
Date: Fri Oct 04 2024 - 11:49:48 EST
`ReallocFunc` is an abstraction for the kernel's realloc derivates, such
as `krealloc`, `vrealloc` and `kvrealloc`.
All of the named functions share the same function signature and
implement the same semantics. The `ReallocFunc` abstractions provides a
generalized wrapper around those, to trivialize the implementation of
`Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` and `KVmalloc` in subsequent patches.
