Merge tag 'kmemleak-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmarinas/linux-aarch64 

Pull kmemleak patches from Catalin Marinas:
 "Kmemleak now scans all the writable and non-executable module sections
  to avoid false positives (previously it was only scanning specific
  sections and missing .ref.data)."
