Subject: [PATCH] arm64/efi: Fix kmemleak false positive in arm64_efi_rt_init()

The kmemleak code sometimes complains about the following leak:

unreferenced object 0xffff8000102e0000 (size 32768):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294937323 (age 71.240s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
  backtrace:
    [<00000000db9a88a3>] __vmalloc_node_range+0x324/0x450
    [<00000000ff8903a4>] __vmalloc_node+0x90/0xd0

    [<0000000054a87017>] do_initcalls+0x190/0x1d0
    [<00000000308092d0>] kernel_init_freeable+0x2c0/0x2f0
    [<000000003e7b99e0>] kernel_init+0x28/0x14c
    [<000000002246af5b>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20

The memory object in this case is for efi_rt_stack_top and is allocated
in an initcall. So this is certainly a false positive. Mark the object
as not a leak to quash it.
