When loading a module, as long as the module has memory allocation
operations, kmemleak produces a false positive report that resembles the
following:
unreferenced object (percpu) 0x7dfd232a1650 (size 16):
comm "modprobe", pid 1301, jiffies 4294940249
hex dump (first 16 bytes on cpu 2):

This is because the module can only indirectly reference
alloc_tag_counters through the alloc_tag section, which misleads kmemleak.
However, we don't have a kmemleak ignore interface for percpu allocations
yet. So let's create one and invoke it for tag->counters.
