Instead of discovering the kmalloc bucket size _after_ allocation, round
up proactively so the allocation is explicitly made for the full size,
allowing the compiler to correctly reason about the resulting size of
the buffer through the existing __alloc_size() hint.

I don't care about this but the reverse Christmas tree
convention would put the "allocate" variable definition
above "virt".

Whether you fix that or not, this patch looks good to me.
