[PATCH] efivarfs: Suppress false-positive kmemleak warning for sfi

[Breno Leitao]

When kmemleak is enabled, it incorrectly reports the sfi structure
allocated during efivarfs_init_fs_context() as leaked:

    unreferenced object 0xffff888146250b80 (size 64):
    __kmalloc_cache_noprof
    efivarfs_init_fs_context
    ...

On module unload, this object is freed in efivarfs_kill_sb(), confirming
no actual leak. Also, kfree(sfi) is called at efivarfs_kill_sb(). I am
not able to explain why kmemleak detected it as a leak. To silence this
false-positive, mark the sfi allocation as ignored by kmemleak right
after allocation.

This ensures clearer leak diagnostics for this allocation path.
