The kmemleak scanning thread can run for minutes.  Callbacks like
kmemleak_free() are allowed during this time, the race being taken care
of by the object->lock spinlock.  Such lock also prevents a memory block
from being freed or unmapped while it is being scanned by blocking the
kmemleak_free() -> ...  -> __delete_object() function until the lock is
released in scan_object().

When a kmemleak error occurs (e.g.  it fails to allocate its metadata),
kmemleak_enabled is set and __delete_object() is no longer called on
freed objects.  If kmemleak_scan is running at the same time,
kmemleak_free() no longer waits for the object scanning to complete,
allowing the corresponding memory block to be freed or unmapped (in the
case of vfree()).  This leads to kmemleak_scan potentially triggering a
page fault.

This patch separates the kmemleak_free() enabling/disabling from the
overall kmemleak_enabled nob so that we can defer the disabling of the
object freeing tracking until the scanning thread completed.  The
kmemleak_free_part() is deliberately ignored by this patch since this is
only called during boot before the scanning thread started.
