Calling delete_object_*() on the same pointer is not a standard use case (unless there is a bug in the code calling kmemleak_free()). However, during kmemleak disabling (error or user triggered via /sys), there is a potential race between kmemleak_free() calls on a CPU and __kmemleak_do_cleanup() on a different CPU. The current delete_object_*() implementation first performs a look-up holding kmemleak_lock, increments the object->use_count and then re-acquires kmemleak_lock to remove the object from object_tree_root and object_list. This patch simplifies the delete_object_*() mechanism to both look up and remove an object from the object_tree_root and object_list atomically (guarded by kmemleak_lock). This allows safe concurrent calls to delete_object_*() on the same pointer without additional locking for synchronising the kmemleak_free_enabled flag. A side effect is a slight improvement in the delete_object_*() performance by avoiding acquiring kmemleak_lock twice and incrementing/decrementing object->use_count.
