mm/memmap: prevent double scanning of memmap by kmemleak
kmemleak explicitly scans the mem_map through the valid struct page objects. However, memmap_alloc() was also adding this memory to the gray object list, causing it to be scanned twice. Remove memmap_alloc() from the scan list and add a comment to clarify the behavior.
