Subject: [PATCH] megaraid: kmemleak: Track page allocation for fusion

From: Shu Wang <shuwang@redhat.com>

Kmemleak reports about a thousand false positives for fusion-> cmd_list[].
Root casue is the cmd_list objects are allocated from slab allocator, and
stored its pointer in object allocated by page allocator. The fix will
tell kmemleak to track and scan fusion object.

Before patch:
kmemleak: 1004 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

unreferenced object 0xffff88042584e000 (size 8192):
backtrace:

Looks good. Thanks for catching this.
