Subject: [PATCH] kmemleak: Increase maximum early log entries to 1000000

When KASan is enabled, a lot of memory is allocated early on,
and kmemleak complains (this is on a 4GB RAM system):
kmemleak: Early log buffer exceeded (129846), please increase
  DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_EARLY_LOG_SIZE

Let's increase the upper limit to 1M entry. That would take up
160MB of RAM at init (each early_log entry is 160 bytes), but
the memory would later be freed (early_log is __initdata).
