From: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@xxxxxxx>
commit 9afdd6128c39f42398041bb2e017d8df0dcebcd1 upstream.
The call to krealloc() in wsm_buf_reserve() directly assigns the newly
returned memory to buf->begin. This is all fine except when krealloc()
failes we loose the ability to free the old memory pointed to by
buf->begin. If we just create a temporary variable to assign memory to
and assign the memory to it we can mitigate the memory leak.
