I don't think I was cc'ed on the other thread but at a quick look, what
you probably want is:

	kmemleak_ignore_phys(__kfence_pool);

instead of the current kmemleak_free(). With Patrick's changes, you can
no longer tell kmemleak about an object with a physical address and free
it with the virtual one.
