[PATCH v2] mm: Delay kmemleak object creation of module_alloc()

Yongqiang reports a kmemleak panic when module insmod/rmmod with KASAN
enabled on x86[1].

When the module 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.

module_alloc
  __vmalloc_node_range
    kmemleak_vmalloc
				kmemleak_scan
				  update_checksum
  kasan_module_alloc
    kmemleak_ignore

The bug should exist on ARM64/S390 too, add a VM_DELAY_KMEMLEAK flags, delay
vmalloc'ed object register of kmemleak in module_alloc().
