Regular krealloc() obviously can't work with managed memory. This series
implements devm_krealloc() and adds the first users with hope that this
helper will be adopted by other drivers currently using non-managed
krealloc().

Some additional changes to the code modified by main patches are included.

v1 -> v2:
- remove leftover call to hwmon_device_unregister() from pmbus_core.c
- add a patch extending devm_kmalloc() to handle zero size case
- use WARN_ON() instead of WARN_ONCE() in devm_krealloc() when passed
  a pointer to non-managed memory
- correctly handle the case when devm_krealloc() is passed a pointer to
  memory in .rodata (potentially returned by devm_kstrdup_const())
- correctly handle ZERO_SIZE_PTR passed as the ptr argument in devm_krealloc()

v2 -> v3:
- drop already applied patches
- collect Acks
- add an additional user in iio

v3 -> v4:
- add the kerneldoc for devm_krealloc()
- WARN() outside of spinlock
- rename local variable

v4 -> v5:
- tweak the kerneldoc

Bartosz Golaszewski (3):
  devres: provide devm_krealloc()
  hwmon: pmbus: use more devres helpers
  iio: adc: xilinx-xadc: use devm_krealloc()
