Add __counted_by_ptr() to umem_info::buf and umem_info::ranges to
improve access bounds checking via CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
In check_realloc_usable_mem(), return early on krealloc() failure and
use sizeof(*buf) when deriving max_entries from the allocation size.

Yeah, it is better to maintain the order. The changes look good to me.
Feel free to add them.
