tracing: Inform kmemleak of saved_cmdlines allocation

Browse Source 
The allocation of the struct saved_cmdlines_buffer structure changed from:

        s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL);
	s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);

to:

	orig_size = sizeof(*s) + val * TASK_COMM_LEN;
	order = get_order(orig_size);
	size = 1 << (order + PAGE_SHIFT);
	page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order);
	if (!page)
		return NULL;

	s = page_address(page);
	memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s));

	s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);

Where that s->saved_cmdlines allocation looks to be a dangling allocation
to kmemleak. That's because kmemleak only keeps track of kmalloc()
allocations. For allocations that use page_alloc() directly, the kmemleak
needs to be explicitly informed about it.

Add kmemleak_alloc() and kmemleak_free() around the page allocation so
that it doesn't give the following false positive:
