Hi,
I noticed that starting from v6.5-rc1 my ath11k tests reported several
memory leaks from swapper/0:
unreferenced object 0xffff88810a02b7a8 (size 96):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294671838 (age 98.120s)

I can easily reproduce this by doing a simple insmod and rmmod of ath11k
and it's dependencies (mac80211, MHI etc). I can reliability reproduce
the leaks but I only see them once after a boot, I need to reboot the
host to see the leaks again. v6.4 has no leaks.
I did a bisect and found the commit below. I verified reverting the
commit makes the leaks go away.
