AFAICT, we about 300 kmalloc and kzalloc calls in the kernel that
would need this annotation. If we really can't fix the detector to
deal with these, I would prefer we introduce another memory allocator
function such as:
void *kzalloc_extra(size_t obj_size, size_t nr_extra, gfp_t flags);
That would do the right thing for memleak too.
