KHO: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to non-PRESENT pages
When booting with debug_pagealloc=on while having:
CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_ENABLE_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_DEFAULT_OFF=n
the system fails to boot due to page faults during kmemleak scanning.
This occurs because:
With debug_pagealloc is enabled, __free_pages() invokes
debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages(), clearing the _PAGE_PRESENT bit for freed
pages in the kernel page table. KHO scratch areas are allocated from
memblock and noted by kmemleak. But these areas don't remain reserved but
released later to the page allocator using init_cma_reserved_pageblock().
This causes subsequent kmemleak scans access non-PRESENT pages, leading to
fatal page faults.
Mark scratch areas with kmemleak_ignore_phys() after they are allocated
from memblock to exclude them from kmemleak scanning before they are
released to buddy allocator to fix this.
