Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] memblock: exclude MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions from kmemleak

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@...ux.ibm.com>

Vladimir Zapolskiy reports:

commit a7259df76702 ("memblock: make memblock_find_in_range method private")
invokes a kernel panic while running kmemleak on OF platforms with nomaped
regions:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fff000021e00000
  [...]
    scan_block+0x64/0x170
    scan_gray_list+0xe8/0x17c
    kmemleak_scan+0x270/0x514
    kmemleak_write+0x34c/0x4ac

The memory allocated from memblock is registered with kmemleak, but if it
is marked MEMBLOCK_NOMAP it won't have linear map entries so an attempt to
scan such areas will fault.

Ideally, memblock_mark_nomap() would inform kmemleak to ignore
MEMBLOCK_NOMAP memory, but it can be called before kmemleak interfaces
operating on physical addresses can use __va() conversion.

Make sure that functions that mark allocated memory as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP take
care of informing kmemleak to ignore such memory.
