[ Upstream commit f25667e5980a4333729cac3101e5de1bb851f71a ]
Doing the command: echo 'hist:key=common_pid.execname,common_timestamp' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/xxx/trigger
Triggers many kmemleak reports:

The reason is elts->pages[i] is alloced by get_zeroed_page. and kmemleak will not scan the area alloced by get_zeroed_page. The address stored in elts->pages will be regarded as leaked.
That is, the elts->pages[i] will have pointers loaded onto it as well, and without telling kmemleak about it, those pointers will look like memory without a reference.
To fix this, call kmemleak_alloc to tell kmemleak to scan elts->pages[i]
