mm/vmalloc: use physical page count for vrealloc() grow-in-place check
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 size (alloced_size, derived from get_vm_area_size()).
Currently both values are equivalent, but the upcoming vrealloc() shrink
functionality will free pages without reducing the virtual reservation
size. After such a shrink, the old alloced_size-based comparison would
incorrectly allow a grow-in-place operation to succeed and attempt to
access freed pages. Switch to vm->nr_pages now so the check remains
correct once shrink support is added.
