Breno Leitao e776db8e71 mm: kmemleak: report leaks only after N consecutive unreferenced scans 
kmemleak reports an object the first scan it is found unreferenced.  Its
mark phase runs without stopping the rest of the kernel and without a
write barrier, so a live object whose only reference is briefly invisible
during a concurrent RCU update -- e.g.  a VMA moved between maple tree
nodes, or a page-cache xa_node -- can be seen as unreferenced for that one
scan.  Because an object is flagged as reported only once, such a
transient race turns into a permanent false positive.

Track how many consecutive scans each object has been seen unreferenced
and only report it once that reaches min_unref_scans, a new module
parameter.  It defaults to 1, leaving the behaviour unchanged; setting it
higher (e.g.  2) still reports a genuine leak, one scan later, while an
object referenced again before the threshold restarts its run and is never
reported.

min_unref_scans can be set at boot with kmemleak.min_unref_scans=<n> or at
run-time via /sys/module/kmemleak/parameters/min_unref_scans.
