kmemleak: Don't scan uninitialized memory when kmemcheck is enabled
Ingo Molnar reported the following kmemcheck warning when running both
kmemleak and kmemcheck enabled:
PM: Adding info for No Bus:vcsa7
WARNING: kmemcheck: Caught 32-bit read from uninitialized memory

kmemleak: 515 new suspected memory leaks (see
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
kmemleak: 42 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
The problem here is that kmemleak will scan partially initialized
objects that makes kmemcheck complain. Fix that up by skipping
uninitialized memory regions when kmemcheck is enabled.
