memblock: exclude MEMBLOCK_NOMAP regions from kmemleak
Vladimir Zapolskiy reports: Commit a7259df76702 ("memblock: make memblock_find_in_range method private") invokes a kernel panic while running kmemleak on OF platforms with nomaped regions: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fff000021e00000 [...] scan_block+0x64/0x170 scan_gray_list+0xe8/0x17c kmemleak_scan+0x270/0x514 kmemleak_write+0x34c/0x4ac The memory allocated from memblock is registered with kmemleak, but if it is marked MEMBLOCK_NOMAP it won't have linear map entries so an attempt to scan such areas will fault. Ideally, memblock_mark_nomap() would inform kmemleak to ignore MEMBLOCK_NOMAP memory, but it can be called before kmemleak interfaces operating on physical addresses can use __va() conversion. Make sure that functions that mark allocated memory as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP take care of informing kmemleak to ignore such memory.
