mm: vmalloc: actually use the in-place vrealloc region

Browse source

commit f7a35a3c36 upstream.

Patch series "mm: vmalloc: Actually use the in-place vrealloc region".

This fixes a performance regression[1] with vrealloc()[1].


The refactoring to not build a new vmalloc region only actually worked
when shrinking.  Actually return the resized area when it grows.  Ugh.
