We can't defer this freeing. It can mess up the kmemleak metadata if the
per-cpu pointer is re-allocated before kmemleak removed it from its
object tree.

The problem is looking up the object tree for each per-cpu offset. We
can make the percpu pointer handling O(1) since freeing is only done by
the main __percpu pointer, so that's the only one needing a look-up. So
far the per-cpu pointers are not tracked for leaking, only scanned.

We could just add the per_cpu_ptr(ptr, 0) to the kmemleak
object_tree_root but when scanning we don't have an inverse function to
get the __percpu pointer back and calculate the pointers for the other
CPUs (well, we could with some hacks but they are probably fragile).

What I came up with is a separate object_percpu_tree_root similar to the
object_phys_tree_root. The only reason for these additional trees is to
look up the kmemleak metadata when needed (usually freeing). They don't
contain objects that are tracked for actual leaking, only scanned. A
briefly tested patch below. I need to go through it again, update some
comments and write a commit log:

The patch looks reasonable to me. It also has a side effect of reducing the # of kmemleak objects to track especially for system with large number of CPUs. Of course, we still need more testing to make sure that it won't break anything.
