I should have used git format-patch. Here it is again (if it still
doesn't work, I'll mail it to you separately).

Subject: [PATCH] kmemleak: Fix the kmemleak tracking of the percpu areas with
 !SMP

Kmemleak tracks the percpu allocations via a specific API and the
originally allocated areas must be removed from kmemleak (via
kmemleak_free). The code was already doing this for SMP systems.
