[PATCH] powerpc/kmemleak: Do not scan the DART table

[Catalin Marinas]

The DART table allocation is registered to kmemleak via the
memblock_alloc_base() call. However, the DART table is later unmapped
and dart_tablebase VA no longer accessible. This patch tells kmemleak
not to scan this block and avoid an unhandled paging request.
