Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() usage

The presence of a pinned argument and the 64k loop count make
kmemleak_cond_resched() a bit more complex to read. The pinned argument
is used only by first kmemleak_scan() loop.

Simplify the usage of kmemleak_cond_resched() by removing the pinned
argument and always do a get_object()/put_object() sequence. In
addition, the 64k loop is removed by using need_resched() to decide if
kmemleak_cond_resched() should be called.
