kmemleak: Do not acquire scan_mutex in kmemleak_open()
Initially, the scan_mutex was acquired in kmemleak_open() and released in kmemleak_release() (corresponding to /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak operations). This was causing some lockdep reports when the file was closed from a different task than the one opening it. This patch moves the scan_mutex acquiring in kmemleak_write() or kmemleak_seq_start() with releasing in kmemleak_seq_stop(). Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
