From: Shu Wang <shuwang@xxxxxxxxxx> Kmemleak reports about a thousand false positives for fusion-> cmd_list[]. Root casue is the cmd_list objects are allocated from slab allocator, and stored its pointer in object allocated by page allocator. The fix will tell kmemleak to track and scan fusion object. V2: Add comment, balance braces, move kmemleak_free before free_pages. checkpatch passed.
