Subject: [PATCH v4 10/14] of: reserved-memory: Do not make kmemleak ignore
 freed address

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@...cinc.com>

early_init_dt_alloc_reserved_memory_arch() will free address @base when
suffers memblock_mark_nomap() error, but it still makes kmemleak ignore
the freed address @base via kmemleak_ignore_phys().

That is unnecessary, besides, also causes unnecessary warning messages:

kmemleak_ignore_phys()
 -> make_black_object()
    -> paint_ptr()
       -> kmemleak_warn() // warning message here.

Fix by avoiding kmemleak_ignore_phys() when suffer the error.

Fixes: 658aafc8139c ("memblock: exclude MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions from kmemleak")
