Hmm noticed a small change in how we call trace_kmalloc() which will now
include the __GFP_COMP. I think we could just call alloc_pages() from
kmalloc_large() with flags | __GFP_COMP instead of doing flags |=
__GFP_COMP; first. AFAICS both kasan_kmalloc_large() and kmemleak_alloc()
will filter it out anyway.
