kmemleak: avoid RCU stalls when freeing metadata for per-CPU pointers

On systems with large number of CPUs, the following soft lockup splat
might sometimes happen:

The issue is caused by kmemleak registering each per_cpu_ptr()
corresponding to the __percpu pointer.  This is unnecessary since such
individual per-CPU pointers are not tracked anyway.  Create a new
object_percpu_tree_root rbtree that stores a single __percpu pointer
together with an OBJECT_PERCPU flag for the kmemleak metadata.  Scanning
needs to be done for all per_cpu_ptr() pointers with a cond_resched()
between each CPU iteration to avoid RCU stalls.
