From: Shivam Kalra <shivamkalra98@zohomail.in>
Introduce a new test case "vrealloc_test" that exercises the vrealloc()
shrink and in-place grow paths:
- Grow beyond allocated pages (triggers full reallocation).
- Shrink crossing a page boundary (frees tail pages).
- Shrink within the same page (no page freeing).
- Grow within the already allocated page count (in-place).
Data integrity is validated after each realloc step by checking that
the first byte of the original allocation is preserved.
The test is gated behind run_test_mask bit 12 (id 4096).
