Introduce struct vm_struct::requested_size so that the requested
(re)allocation size is retained separately from the allocated area size.
This means that KASAN will correctly poison the correct spans of requested
bytes. This also means we can support growing the usable portion of an
allocation that can already be supported by the existing area's existing
allocation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
