mm: kmemleak: use the memory pool for early allocations

Currently kmemleak uses a static early_log buffer to trace all memory
allocation/freeing before the slab allocator is initialised.  Such early
log is replayed during kmemleak_init() to properly initialise the kmemleak
metadata for objects allocated up that point.  With a memory pool that
does not rely on the slab allocator, it is possible to skip this early log
entirely.

In order to remove the early logging, consider kmemleak_enabled == 1 by
default while the kmem_cache availability is checked directly on the
object_cache and scan_area_cache variables.  The RCU callback is only
invoked after object_cache has been initialised as we wouldn't have any
concurrent list traversal before this.

In order to reduce the number of callbacks before kmemleak is fully
initialised, move the kmemleak_init() call to mm_init().

Kmemleak must track all the memory allocations to avoid
reporting false positives. Since memory may be allocated or
freed before kmemleak is initialised, an early log buffer is
used to store these actions. If kmemleak reports "early log
buffer exceeded", please increase this value.
freed before kmemleak is fully initialised, use a static pool
of metadata objects to track such callbacks. After kmemleak is
fully initialised, this memory pool acts as an emergency one
if slab allocations fail.
