Merge tag 'kmemleak' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux
Kmemleak patches
Main features:
- Handle percpu memory allocations (only scanning them, not actually
reporting).
- Memory hotplug support.
Usability improvements:
- Show the origin of early allocations.
- Report previously found leaks even if kmemleak has been disabled by
some error.
