rust: alloc: fix dangling pointer in VecExt<T>::reserve()
Currently, a Vec<T>'s ptr value, after calling Vec<T>::new(), is initialized to Unique::dangling(). Hence, in VecExt<T>::reserve(), we're passing a dangling pointer (instead of NULL) to krealloc() whenever a new Vec<T>'s backing storage is allocated through VecExt<T> extension functions. This only works as long as align_of::<T>(), used by Unique::dangling() to derive the dangling pointer, resolves to a value between 0x0 and ZERO_SIZE_PTR (0x10) and krealloc() hence treats it the same as a NULL pointer however. This isn't a case we should rely on, since there may be types whose alignment may exceed the range still covered by krealloc(), plus other kernel allocators are not as tolerant either. Instead, pass a real NULL pointer to krealloc_aligned() if Vec<T>'s capacity is zero.
