Yes, kmemleak can't detect percpu allocations. I find some message about 
this:

commit f528f0b8e53d
Author: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
Date:   Mon Sep 26 17:12:53 2011 +0100

kmemleak: Handle percpu memory allocation

This patch adds kmemleak callbacks from the percpu allocator, reducing a
number of false positives caused by kmemleak not scanning such memory
blocks. The percpu chunks are never reported as leaks because of current
kmemleak limitations with the __percpu pointer not pointing directly to
the actual chunks.

Thanks,
Quanyang
