Add a memory pool for struct kmemleak_object in case the normal kmem_cache_alloc() fails under the gfp constraints passed by the caller. The mem_pool[] array size is currently fixed at 16000. We are not using the existing mempool kernel API since this requires the slab allocator to be available (for pool->elements allocation). A subsequent kmemleak patch will replace the static early log buffer with the pool allocation introduced here and this functionality is required to be available before the slab was initialised.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
