Subject: [PATCH -next v2] bootmem: remove the vmemmap pages from kmemleak in put_page_bootmem

The vmemmap pages is marked by kmemleak when allocated from memblock.
Remove it from kmemleak when free the page. Otherwise, when we reuse the
page, kmemleak may report such an error and then stop working.

 kmemleak: Cannot insert 0xffff98fb6eab3d40 into the object search tree (overlaps existing)
 kmemleak: Kernel memory leak detector disabled
 kmemleak: Object 0xffff98fb6be00000 (size 335544320):
 kmemleak:   comm "swapper", pid 0, jiffies 4294892296
 kmemleak:   min_count = 0
 kmemleak:   count = 0
 kmemleak:   flags = 0x1
 kmemleak:   checksum = 0
 kmemleak:   backtrace:

Fixes: f41f2ed43ca5 (mm: hugetlb: free the vmemmap pages associated with each HugeTLB page)
