The kerneldoc over krealloc() says:

 * The contents of the object pointed to are preserved up to the
 * lesser of the new and old sizes (__GFP_ZERO flag is effectively
ignored).

This code however relies on krealloc zeroing out the new part of the
allocation. Do you know for certain that that works?

nit: maybe just do:

    sessions[s->s_mds] = ceph_get_mds_session(s);

Otherwise the whole set looks pretty reasonable.
