Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] mm/kmemleak: Use _irq lock/unlock variants in kmemleak_scan/_clear()

The kmemleak_scan() function is called only from the kmemleak scan
thread or from write to the kmemleak debugfs file. Both are in task
context and so we can directly use the simpler _irq() lock/unlock calls
instead of the more complex _irqsave/_irqrestore variants.

Similarly, kmemleak_clear() is called only from write to the kmemleak
debugfs file. The same change can be applied.
