Commit Message

kmemleak explicitly scans the mem_map through the valid struct page objects.
However, memmap_alloc() was also adding this memory to the gray object list,
causing it to be scanned twice. Removes memmap_alloc() from the
scan list and adds a comment to clarify the behavior.

Nitpick: normally I'd place the comment in the code, before the 'if'
statement. We keep the comments above functions for a description of
the function.

Another nit: if the original authors of this file preferred the includes
to be in blocks, I'd keep the internal.h include as a separate block
after the asm/ includes.

Apart from these minor things, the patch looks fine.

Thank you for the suggestion! I agree that placing the comment before
the 'if' statement is
a better approach. I will update the patch accordingly.

Here is the order I actually refer to `mm/sparse.c`, but after looking at
other files, I think your suggestion is better.
