Subject: [PATCH] kmemleak-test: drop __init to get better backtrace
Drop the __init on kmemleak_test_init(). With it, the storage is
reclaimed, but then the symbol isn't available for "%pS" rendering,
and the backtrace gets a bare pointer where the actual leak happened.
unreferenced object 0xffff88800a2b0800 (size 1024):
comm "modprobe", pid 413, jiffies 4294953430
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
73 02 00 00 75 01 00 68 02 00 00 01 00 00 00 04 s...u..h........
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
backtrace:
[<00000000fabad728>] kmalloc_trace+0x26/0x90
[<00000000ef738764>] 0xffffffffc02350a2
[<00000000004e5795>] do_one_initcall+0x43/0x210

[<00000000c73c8d9d>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0
with __init gone, that trace entry renders like:
[<00000000ef738764>] kmemleak_test_init+<offset>/<size>
