Pekka Enberg 8e019366ba kmemleak: Don't scan uninitialized memory when kmemcheck is enabled
Ingo Molnar reported the following kmemcheck warning when running both
kmemleak and kmemcheck enabled:

  kmemleak: 515 new suspected memory leaks (see
  /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
  kmemleak: 42 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

The problem here is that kmemleak will scan partially initialized
objects that makes kmemcheck complain. Fix that up by skipping
uninitialized memory regions when kmemcheck is enabled.
