In _init_kmemleak() we're touching a check_kmemleak file in ${RESULT_BASE}
if ${DEBUGFS_MNT/kmemleak} exists as a marker that we have to check for
kmemleak output after running a test.

In 'check' we're calling _init_kmemleak() at around 60% of the file, but
${RESULT_BASE} is created later at around 62% of the file, causing the
'touch' in _init_kmemleak() to fail.

The workaround to this is creating ${RESULT_BASE} before touching
${RESULT_BASE}/check_kmemleak to always have the marker.

Looks reasonable to me,

Hmm, hiding the $RESULT_BASE creation here seems odd to me. I'd suggest
create $RESULT_BASE just after setting the default value in
common/config (in get_next_config()), which is sourced by common/rc then
by check, so we get all the environment setup before calling
_init_kmemleak().

Thanks,
