[PATCH 1/2] mm: kmemleak: serialize disable-time cleanup

[Weilin Tong <tongweilin@linux.alibaba.com>]

kmemleak_do_cleanup() drops scan_mutex before removing tracked objects
without kmemleak_lock. A concurrent clear command can therefore start
another cleanup while the background cleanup is still running.

Keep scan_mutex held until the background cleanup completes, serializing
its lockless removals with explicit clearing and report readers.

Fixes: 2abd839aa7e6 ("kmemleak: Do not corrupt the object_list during clean-up")
