It should be better noted that only alignments up to those guaranteed by
kmalloc() (with a link to its doc where it's described) are expected and not
arbitrary ones. So we don't give the wrong impression here.

I guess here we should say something similar to what I suggested to
krealloc(). The "size >= align" check below doesn't mean the alignment can
be arbitrary. It would be incompatible with how
kvrealloc_node_align_noprof() works anyway.

I think it's similar to the check in __do_krealloc() in v12 and not
particularly useful. We don't need to support align > size for rust anyway?
Does vmalloc even honor that?

It would also be inconsistent that kvmalloc() would give you this
possibility of size<align, but starting with a small size and size>=align
and then kvrealloc() to size<align wouldn't actually work.

Ditto.
