Subject: [PATCH] pstore: rework memory handling for dmesg
Semmle Security Reports report:
> The problem occurs on the way realloc is being used. When a size
> bigger than the chunk that wants to be reallocated is passed, realloc
> try to malloc a bigger size, however in the case that malloc fails
> (for example, by forcing a big allocation) realloc will return NULL.
>
> According to the man page:
> "The realloc() function returns a pointer to the newly allocated
> memory, which is suitably aligned for any built-in type and may be
> different from ptr, or NULL if the request fails. If size was
> equal to 0, either NULL or a pointer suitable to be passed to free()
> is returned. If realloc() fails, the original block is left
> untouched; it is not freed or moved."

Let's use a more standard pattern: allocate memory using greedy_realloc, and
instead of freeing it when we wrote out a chunk, let's just move the cursor
back to the beginning and reuse the memory we allocated previously.
If we fail to allocate the memory for dmesg contents, don't write the dmesg
entry, but let's still process the files to move them out of pstore.
(cherry picked from commit 8198c3e42b0614b6bd1db6f38813b842c8577304)
