Slab allocators: fail if ksize is called with a NULL parameter

Browse source 
A NULL pointer means that the object was not allocated.  One cannot
determine the size of an object that has not been allocated.  Currently we
return 0 but we really should BUG() on attempts to determine the size of
something nonexistent.

krealloc() interprets NULL to mean a zero sized object.  Handle that
separately in krealloc().
