Subject: [PATCH 1/1] bridge: mdb: report complete_info ptr as not a kmemleak

We currently get the following kmemleak report:
unreferenced object 0xffff8800039d9820 (size 32):
  comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4295212383 (age 792.416s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

This patch flags the complete_info ptr object as not a leak as it will
get freed when .complete_priv() is called, for the br mdb case, it
will be freed at br_mdb_complete().
