Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] mm: kmemleak: Improve vmalloc() false positives for thread stack allocation

Hi,

This is a follow up from [1] (mm: kmemleak: Treat vm_struct as
alternative reference to vmalloc'ed objects).

The first two patches are just clean-up and refactoring. The third
introduces the kmemleak_vmalloc() API which allows a vmalloc() caller to
keep either the returned pointer or a pointer to vm_struct as a
reference (see the patch description for the implementation details).
The false positives were noticed with alloc_thread_stack_node(),
free_thread_stack() and CONFIG_VMAP_STACK where a per-CPU array is used
to cache the freed thread stacks as vm_struct pointers.

Changes since v1:

- Split the patch into three for easier review
- Only call update_refs() if !color_gray() on the found object, it
  avoids an unnecessary function call
