[PATCH] landlock: shrink tsync works[] on partial allocation failure

When the per-slot kzalloc fails mid-loop in tsync_works_grow_by(), the
already-enlarged s->works array keeps uninitialized trailing entries.
Shrink the array back to its used size on the error path so no waste
is carried over: free it outright when nothing has been allocated yet,
otherwise try a shrinking krealloc_array() (keep the larger array if
the shrink fails, since tsync_works_release() honors s->capacity).
