Patch series "mm: kmemleak: Use a memory pool for kmemleak object
allocations", v3.
Following the discussions on v2 of this patch(set) [1], this series takes
slightly different approach:
- it implements its own simple memory pool that does not rely on the
slab allocator
- drops the early log buffer logic entirely since it can now allocate
metadata from the memory pool directly before kmemleak is fully
initialised
- CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_EARLY_LOG_SIZE option is renamed to
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE
- moves the kmemleak_init() call earlier (mm_init())
- to avoid a separate memory pool for struct scan_area, it makes the
tool robust when such allocations fail as scan areas are rather an
optimisation

This patch (of 3):
Object scan areas are an optimisation aimed to decrease the false
positives and slightly improve the scanning time of large objects known to
only have a few specific pointers. If a struct scan_area fails to
allocate, kmemleak can still function normally by scanning the full
object.
Introduce an OBJECT_FULL_SCAN flag and mark objects as such when scan_area
allocation fails.
