Subject[PATCH] ucount: mark user_header with kmemleak_ignore()
Date
The user_header gets caught by kmemleak with the following splat
as missing a free:

unreferenced object 0xffff99667a733d80 (size 96):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294892317 (age 62191.468s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
a0 b6 92 b4 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 ................
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
backtrace:
[<ffffffffb3a5f7ea>] kmemleak_alloc+0x4a/0xa0
[<ffffffffb36050d4>] __kmalloc+0x144/0x260
[<ffffffffb36a7144>] __register_sysctl_table+0x54/0x5e0

[<ffffffffb3a6b57c>] ret_from_fork+0x2c/0x40
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

The BUG_ON()s are intended to crash so no need to clean up after
ourselves on error there. This is also a kernel/ subsys_init() we
don't need a respective exit call here as this is never modular,
so just white list it.
