kmemleak: Add kmemleak_alloc callback from alloc_large_system_hash
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The alloc_large_system_hash function is called from various places in
the kernel and it contains pointers to other allocated structures. It
therefore needs to be traced by kmemleak.
