I don't think the invocation of kmemleak_do_cleanup() is the issue here.
It should be safe schedule the clean-up thread in case kmemleak was
disabled from boot. What you probably hit was a bug in
__kmemleak_do_cleanup() itself, fixed here:

With the above patch, I can no longer trigger the KASan warning.
