Slab objects that are allocated with kmalloc_nolock() must be freed using kfree_nolock() because only a subset of alloc hooks are called, since kmalloc_nolock() can't spin on a lock during allocation. This imposes a limitation: such objects cannot be freed with kfree_rcu(), forcing users to work around this limitation by calling call_rcu() with a callback that frees the object using kfree_nolock(). Remove this limitation by teaching kmemleak to gracefully ignore cases when kmemleak_free() or kmemleak_ignore() is called without a prior kmemleak_alloc(). Unlike kmemleak, kfence already handles this case, because, due to its design, only a subset of allocations are served from kfence. With this change, kfree() and kfree_rcu() can be used to free objects that are allocated using kmalloc_nolock().
