Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] mm: kmemleak: Treat vm_struct as alternative reference to vmalloc'ed objects

Kmemleak requires that vmalloc'ed objects have a minimum reference count
of 2: one in the corresponding vm_struct object and the other owned by
the vmalloc() caller. There are cases, however, where the original
vmalloc() returned pointer is lost and, instead, a pointer to vm_struct
is stored (see free_thread_stack()). Kmemleak currently reports such
objects as leaks.

This patch adds support for treating any surplus references to an object
as additional references to a specified object. It introduces the
kmemleak_vmalloc() API function which takes a vm_struct pointer and sets
its surplus reference passing to the actual vmalloc() returned pointer.
The __vmalloc_node_range() calling site has been modified accordingly.
