Dont mix unrelated changes in a single patch.

Current krealloc() doesnt alloc a new area if the current one is bigger
than 'new_size', but this might change in next kernel versions.

So this part of your patch does nothing.

If it did, this kind of 'optimization' can actually be not good, because
sizeof(*fp) is small enough (less than half cache line size) to trigger
a possible false sharing issue. (other part of the cache line could be
used to hold a often dirtied object)
