fixing commit 8e7f37f2aaa5 ("mm: Add mem_dump_obj() to print source
of memory block")

with current code, Backtrace of allocated object is coming wrong:
/ # cat /proc/meminfo
[   14.969843]  slab kmalloc-64 start c8ab0140 data offset 64 pointer offset 0 size 64 allocated at 0x6b6b6b6b
[   14.970635]     0x6b6b6b6b
[   14.970794]     0x6b6b6b6b

[   14.972363]     0x6b6b6b6b
[   14.972505]     0xa56b6b6b

[   14.972734]     0xc8ab0400
[   14.972891]     meminfo_proc_show+0x40/0x4fc

And reason is red zone was not adjusted from object address.
after adding fixup for redzone, backtrace is coming correct:
/ # cat /proc/meminfo
[   14.870782]  slab kmalloc-64 start c8ab0140 data offset 64 pointer offset 128 size 64 allocated at meminfo_proc_show+0x40/0x4f4
