Commit a7259df76702 ("memblock: make memblock_find_in_range method
private") changed the API using which memory is reserved for the pKVM
hypervisor. However, it seems that memblock_phys_alloc() differs
from the original API in terms of kmemleak semantics -- the old one
excluded the reserved regions from kmemleak scans when the new one
doesn't seem to. Unfortunately, when protected KVM is enabled, all
kernel accesses to pKVM-private memory result in a fatal exception,
which can now happen because of kmemleak scans:

Fix this by explicitly excluding the hypervisor's memory pool from
kmemleak like we already do for the hyp BSS.

An alternative could be to actually exclude memory allocated using
memblock_phys_alloc_range() from kmemleak scans to revert back to the
old behaviour. But nobody else has complained about this AFAIK, so I'd
be inclined to keep this local to pKVM. No strong opinion.
