[v9,09/29] rust: alloc: implement `KVmalloc` allocator

Commit Message

Danilo Krummrich Oct. 4, 2024, 3:41 p.m. UTC

Implement `Allocator` for `KVmalloc`, an `Allocator` that tries to
allocate memory wth `kmalloc` first and, on failure, falls back to
`vmalloc`.

All memory allocations made with `KVmalloc` end up in
`kvrealloc_noprof()`; all frees in `kvfree()`.
