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.
