[PATCH 4.9 197/223] mm/kmemleak.c: fix check for softirq context

[ Upstream commit 6ef9056952532c3b746de46aa10d45b4d7797bd8 ]

in_softirq() is a wrong predicate to check if we are in a softirq
context. It also returns true if we have BH disabled, so objects are
falsely stamped with "softirq" comm. The correct predicate is
in_serving_softirq().

If user does cat from /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak previously they would
see this, which is clearly wrong, this is system call context (see the
comm):

unreferenced object 0xffff88805bd661c0 (size 64):
comm "softirq", pid 0, jiffies 4294942959 (age 12.400s)
