kmemleak: Add the base support

This patch adds the base support for the kernel memory leak
detector. It traces the memory allocation/freeing in a way similar to
the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the difference being that
the unreferenced objects are not freed but only shown in
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this feature introduces an
overhead to memory allocations.

+ *
+ * Notes on locking
+ * ----------------
+ *
+ * The following locks and mutexes are used by kmemleak:
+ *
+ * - kmemleak_lock (rwlock): protects the object_list modifications and
+ *   accesses to the object_tree_root. The object_list is the main list
+ *   holding the metadata (struct kmemleak_object) for the allocated memory
+ *   blocks. The object_tree_root is a priority search tree used to look-up
+ *   metadata based on a pointer to the corresponding memory block.  The
+ *   kmemleak_object structures are added to the object_list and
+ *   object_tree_root in the create_object() function called from the
+ *   kmemleak_alloc() callback and removed in delete_object() called from the
+ *   kmemleak_free() callback
+ * - kmemleak_object.lock (spinlock): protects a kmemleak_object. Accesses to
+ *   the metadata (e.g. count) are protected by this lock. Note that some
+ *   members of this structure may be protected by other means (atomic or
+ *   kmemleak_lock). This lock is also held when scanning the corresponding
+ *   memory block to avoid the kernel freeing it via the kmemleak_free()
+ *   callback. This is less heavyweight than holding a global lock like
+ *   kmemleak_lock during scanning
+ * - scan_mutex (mutex): ensures that only one thread may scan the memory for
+ *   unreferenced objects at a time. The gray_list contains the objects which
+ *   are already referenced or marked as false positives and need to be
+ *   scanned. This list is only modified during a scanning episode when the
+ *   scan_mutex is held. At the end of a scan, the gray_list is always empty.
+ *   Note that the kmemleak_object.use_count is incremented when an object is
+ *   added to the gray_list and therefore cannot be freed
+ * - kmemleak_mutex (mutex): prevents multiple users of the "kmemleak" debugfs
+ *   file together with modifications to the memory scanning parameters
+ *   including the scan_thread pointer
+ *
+ * The kmemleak_object structures have a use_count incremented or decremented
+ * using the get_object()/put_object() functions. When the use_count becomes
+ * 0, this count can no longer be incremented and put_object() schedules the
+ * kmemleak_object freeing via an RCU callback. All calls to the get_object()
+ * function must be protected by rcu_read_lock() to avoid accessing a freed
+ * structure.
