Hm so once Kees's effort is finished and all ksize() users behave correctly,
we can drop all that skip_orig_size_check() code, right?

Looks fine, but a suggestion below:

Wondering if we can remove this if - memset and instead below:

This continues by:
    memset(p + s->object_size, val, s->inuse - s->object_size);
Instead we could do this, no?
    memset(p + orig_size, val, s->inuse - orig_size);
