Slab allocators: Fail if ksize is called with a NULL parameter
A NULL pointer means that the object was not allocated. One cannot
determine the size of an object that has not been allocated. Currently
we return 0 but we really should BUG() on attempts to determine the size
of something nonexistent.
krealloc() interprets NULL to mean a zero sized object. Handle that
separately in krealloc().
