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.
