Now that the memslot logic doesn't assume memslots are always non-NULL, dynamically size the array of memslots instead of unconditionally allocating memory for the maximum number of memslots. Note, because a to-be-deleted memslot must first be invalidated, the array size cannot be immediately reduced when deleting a memslot. However, consecutive deletions will realize the memory savings, i.e. a second deletion will trim the entry.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
