kmemleak: iommu/iova: fix transient kmemleak false positive
The introduction of iova_depot_pop() in 911aa1245da8 ("iommu/iova: Make the rcache depot scale better") confused kmemleak by moving a struct iova_magazine object from a singly linked list to rcache->depot and resetting the 'next' pointer referencing it. Unlike doubly linked lists, the content of the object being referred is never changed on removal from a singly linked list and the kmemleak checksum heuristics do not detect such scenario. This leads to false positives like: unreferenced object 0xffff8881a5301000 (size 1024): comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4306297099 (age 462.991s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 e7 7d 05 00 00 00 00 00 .........}...... 0f b4 05 00 00 00 00 00 b4 96 05 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [<ffffffff819f5f08>] __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x1e8/0x320 [<ffffffff818a239a>] kmalloc_trace+0x2a/0x60 [<ffffffff8231d31e>] free_iova_fast+0x28e/0x4e0 [<ffffffff82310860>] fq_ring_free_locked+0x1b0/0x310 [<ffffffff8231225d>] fq_flush_timeout+0x19d/0x2e0 [<ffffffff813e95ba>] call_timer_fn+0x19a/0x5c0 [<ffffffff813ea16b>] __run_timers+0x78b/0xb80 [<ffffffff813ea5bd>] run_timer_softirq+0x5d/0xd0 [<ffffffff82f1d915>] __do_softirq+0x205/0x8b5 Introduce kmemleak_transient_leak() which resets the object checksum requiring another scan pass before it is reported (if still unreferenced). Call this new API in iova_depot_pop().
