mm/kmemleak.c: wait for scan completion before disabling free
A crash is observed when kmemleak_scan accesses the object->pointer, likely due to the following race. TASK A TASK B TASK C kmemleak_write (with "scan" and NOT "scan=on") kmemleak_scan() create_object kmem_cache_alloc fails kmemleak_disable kmemleak_do_cleanup kmemleak_free_enabled = 0 kfree kmemleak_free bails out (kmemleak_free_enabled is 0) slub frees object->pointer update_checksum crash - object->pointer freed (DEBUG_PAGEALLOC) kmemleak_do_cleanup waits for the scan thread to complete, but not for direct call to kmemleak_scan via kmemleak_write. So add a wait for kmemleak_scan completion before disabling kmemleak_free, and while at it fix the comment on stop_scan_thread.
