[PATCH 4.9 14/17] kmemleak: clear stale pointers from task stacks

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ca182551857cc2c1e6a2b7f1e72090a137a15008 upstream.

Kmemleak considers any pointers on task stacks as references.  This
patch clears newly allocated and reused vmap stacks.
