The page allocated for struct hv_pcibus_device contains pointers to other
slab allocations in new_pcichild_device(). Since kmemleak does not track
and scan page allocations, the slab objects will be reported as leaks
(false positives). Use the kmemleak APIs to allow tracking of such pages.

This is actually v1. I use "v2" in the Subject just to be consistent with
the other patches in the patchset.
Without the patch, we can see the below warning in dmesg, if kmemleak is
enabled:
kmemleak: 1 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
and "cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak" shows:
