This series implements the TODO in vrealloc() to unmap and free unused
pages when shrinking across a page boundary.

Problem:
When vrealloc() shrinks an allocation, it updates bookkeeping
(requested_size, KASAN shadow) but does not free the underlying physical
pages. This wastes memory for the lifetime of the allocation.

Solution:
- Patch 1: Extracts a vm_area_free_pages(vm, start_idx, end_idx) helper
  from vfree() that frees a range of pages with memcg and nr_vmalloc_pages
  accounting. Freed page pointers are set to NULL to prevent stale
  references.
- Patch 2: Update the grow-in-place check in vrealloc() to compare the
  requested size against the actual physical page count (vm->nr_pages) 
  rather than the virtual area sizes. This is a prerequisite for shrinking.
- Patch 3: Uses the helper to free tail pages when vrealloc() shrinks
  across a page boundary. 
- Patch 4: Adds a vrealloc test case to lib/test_vmalloc that exercises
  grow-realloc, shrink-across-boundary, shrink-within-page, and
  grow-in-place paths.

The virtual address reservation is kept intact to preserve the range
for potential future grow-in-place support.
A concrete user is the Rust binder driver's KVVec::shrink_to [1], which
performs explicit vrealloc() shrinks for memory reclamation.

Tested:
- KASAN KUnit (vmalloc_oob passes)
- lib/test_vmalloc stress tests (3/3, 1M iterations each)
- checkpatch, sparse, W=1, allmodconfig, coccicheck clean
