Actually we stop 2 remote processors using the same remoteproc driver
when system suspend or screen off on our arm64 platform.
And the 48-byte slab allocation will be aligned up to 128 bytes on arm64.
So the leak can be significant in our use case especially
in stress test...

We really don't want to ignore it. Maybe there're other way to fix
it without adding APIs?
