[PATCH 2/9] Revert "mm/kmemleak: make create_object return void"

[George Prekas <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This reverts commit b955aa70a3ac9f1dd5e26d4c7673ec3c28a8c2af.

The function delete_object_part can use the return value of
create_object to propagate flags from the old object to the new objects.
