[ Upstream commit712f210a45] In preparation for reducing the use of ksize(), record the actual allocation size for later memcpy(). This avoids copying extra (uninitialized!) bytes into the patch buffer when the requested allocation size isn't exactly the size of a kmalloc bucket. Additionally, fix potential future issues where runtime bounds checking will notice that the buffer was allocated to a smaller value than returned by ksize().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
