When I set DEBUG_KEEP_INIT=n everything works fine.

I was wrong. Here is the new error
/usr/src/linux-work4/kernel/pid.c: In function 'pid_task':
/usr/src/linux-work4/kernel/pid.c:262: error: initializer element is
not constant
/usr/src/linux-work4/kernel/pid.c:262: error: (near initialization for
'__memleak_offset__container_of.offset')
make[2]: *** [kernel/pid.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [kernel] Error 2
make: *** [_all] Error 2
