[PATCH v9 09/29] rust: alloc: implement `KVmalloc` allocator

[Danilo Krummrich]

Implement `Allocator` for `KVmalloc`, an `Allocator` that tries to
allocate memory wth `kmalloc` first and, on failure, falls back to
`vmalloc`.

All memory allocations made with `KVmalloc` end up in
`kvrealloc_noprof()`; all frees in `kvfree()`.
