[PATCH v4] mm: Defer kmemleak object creation of module_alloc()

Yongqiang reports a kmemleak panic when module insmod/rmmod
with KASAN enabled(without KASAN_VMALLOC) on x86[1].
When the module area allocates memory, it's kmemleak_object
is created successfully, but the KASAN shadow memory of module
allocation is not ready, so when kmemleak scan the module's
pointer, it will panic due to no shadow memory with KASAN check.
module_alloc
__vmalloc_node_range
kmemleak_vmalloc
kmemleak_scan
update_checksum
kasan_module_alloc
kmemleak_ignore
Note, there is no problem if KASAN_VMALLOC enabled, the modules
area entire shadow memory is preallocated. Thus, the bug only
exits on ARCH which supports dynamic allocation of module area
per module load, for now, only x86/arm64/s390 are involved.
Add a VM_DEFER_KMEMLEAK flags, defer vmalloc'ed object register
of kmemleak in module_alloc() to fix this issue.

V4:
- add fix tag
- fix missing change about VM_DELAY_KMEMLEAK
v3:
- update changelog to add more explanation
- use DEFER instead of DELAY sugguested by Catalin.
v2:
- fix type error on changelog and kasan_module_alloc()
