s390/mm: Fix memory leak in add_marker() when kvrealloc() fails
The function has a memory leak when kvrealloc() fails.
The function directly assigns NULL to the markers pointer, losing the
reference to the previously allocated memory. This causes kvfree() in
pt_dump_init() to free NULL instead of the leaked memory.
Fix by:
1. Using kvrealloc() uniformly for all allocations
2. Using a temporary variable to preserve the original pointer until
allocation succeeds
3. Removing the error path that sets markers_cnt=0 to keep
consistency between markers and markers_cnt
Found via static analysis and this is similar to commit 42378a9ca553
("bpf, verifier: Fix memory leak in array reallocation for stack state")
Fixes: d0e7915d2ad3 ("s390/mm/ptdump: Generate address marker array dynamically")
