[PATCH] userns: suppress kmemleak message

[Dmitry Torokhov]

We do not ever intend to unregister "user" sysctl table, unfortunately
it leads kmemleak to believe that we are leaking memory:

unreferenced object 0xffff8807383bfd48 (size 96):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294894636 (age 278.320s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    a0 b4 b0 ba ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00  ................
    01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
  backtrace:
    [<ffffffffb7de59e8>] kmemleak_alloc+0x28/0x50
    [<ffffffffb676e2f6>] __kmalloc+0x206/0x5a0
    [<ffffffffb69be2d3>] __register_sysctl_table+0xb3/0x1130
    [<ffffffffb69bf36b>] register_sysctl+0x1b/0x20

    [<ffffffffba7eb102>] kernel_init_freeable+0x597/0x636

    [<ffffffffb7dfb36a>] ret_from_fork+0x2a/0x40t show
    [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

Let's annotate the pointer as kmemleak_not_leak() to suppress the
kmemleak false positive.

This was only compiled; Jakub, could you give it a spin?
