Instead of splitting __malloc from __alloc_size, which would be a huge amount of churn, just create __realloc_size for the few cases where it is needed. Thanks to Geert Uytterhoeven for reporting build failures with gcc-8 in earlier version which tried to remove the #ifdef. While the "alloc_size" attribute is available on all GCC versions, I forgot that it gets disabled explicitly by the kernel in GCC < 9.1 due to misbehaviors. Add a note to the compiler_attributes.h entry for it.
