mm: vmalloc: actually use the in-place vrealloc region

commit f7a35a3c36d1e36059c5654737d9bee3454f01a3 upstream.

Patch series "mm: vmalloc: Actually use the in-place vrealloc region".

This fixes a performance regression[1] with vrealloc()[1].

The refactoring to not build a new vmalloc region only actually worked
when shrinking.  Actually return the resized area when it grows.  Ugh.
