Thanks for the fix!

But I didn't see any RESULT_DIR related changes in this patch.

So we check for kmemleak after each test even when the test already
failed, better to have some comments here to explain why this is
necessary.

Just wondering why the "{}" are removed in this patch?

So we're checking the "/tmp/check_kmemleak" file instead of
${RESULT_BASE}/check_kmemleak now, but from the commit log it seems that
it should be ${RESULT_DIR}/check_kmemleak?

New knob requires new documentation in README :)
