[PATCH 2.6.28-rc5 07/11] kmemleak: Remove some of the kmemleak false positives

[Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>]

There are allocations for which the main pointer cannot be found but
they are not memory leaks. This patch fixes some of them. For more
information on false positives, see Documentation/kmemleak.txt.
