[PATCH] kasan: Set shadow memory is not memory leaked

[Masami Ichikawa]

kmemleak reported memory leak in kasan_module_alloc() like following
log, even through kasan_free_shadow() frees that address.

unreferenced object 0xfffffbfff40ac000 (size 118784):
  comm "modprobe", pid 196, jiffies 4294878847 (age 87.590s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................

Kmemleak may think anyone take care of result of __vmalloc_node_range()
after the function.
So, it would be nice to call kmemleak_not_leak() to tell memory is not
leaked.
