kernel/ucount.c: mark user_header with kmemleak_ignore()
The user_header gets caught by kmemleak with the following splat as missing a free: unreferenced object 0xffff99667a733d80 (size 96): comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294892317 (age 62191.468s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): a0 b6 92 b4 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 ................ 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: kmemleak_alloc+0x4a/0xa0 __kmalloc+0x144/0x260 __register_sysctl_table+0x54/0x5e0 register_sysctl+0x1b/0x20 user_namespace_sysctl_init+0x17/0x34 do_one_initcall+0x52/0x1a0 kernel_init_freeable+0x173/0x200 kernel_init+0xe/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x2c/0x40 The BUG_ON()s are intended to crash so no need to clean up after ourselves on error there. This is also a kernel/ subsys_init() we don't need a respective exit call here as this is never modular, so just white list it.
