Agreed. I've pulled all the latest kmemleak patches into Meta's kernel
(including this one), and the false positive rate is now much lower
than before (althought I still don't have much bake time).

I'd suggest dropping this one and instead continuing to improve
kmemleak itself to avoid these false positives where possible.

That said, I'll let Meta's kernel bake a bit longer, and if more false
positives turn up I'll report back so we can decide how to proceed.

Thanks,
