mm: krealloc: clarify valid usage of __GFP_ZERO

Browse source

Properly document that if __GFP_ZERO logic is requested, callers must
ensure that, starting with the initial memory allocation, every subsequent
call to this API for the same memory allocation is flagged with
__GFP_ZERO.  Otherwise, it is possible that __GFP_ZERO is not fully
honored by this API.
