Message-ID: <20250307225008.779961-22-ojeda@kernel.org>

From: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>

commit a654a6e09644266e38ac05415ef7737d299c4497 upstream.

Separate `aligned_size` from `krealloc_aligned`.

Subsequent patches implement `Allocator` derivates, such as `Kmalloc`,
that require `aligned_size` and replace the original `krealloc_aligned`.
