Applied to `rust-next`, thanks!

However, should this go to stable? The actual functions being called
are the `__rust_*` ones (until they get removed in 1.71), no? Thus
this is not actually fixing the actual functions being called, right?

If that is correct, then the fix should change the functions below,
perhaps adding `krealloc_with_flags()` from the other patch (it does
not need to be a method, by the way), and calling it with a `Layout`
like the generated ones do. Then I can rebase `rust-next` on top of
the fix that adds the `krealloc_with_flags()`.

Cheers,
Miguel
