kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak file

Browse source 
Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it
makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This
patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an
intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex
covers all the cases now).

CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK in "Kernel hacking" has to be enabled. A kernel
thread scans the memory every 10 minutes (by default) and prints the
number of new unreferenced objects found. To trigger an intermediate
scan and display the details of all the possible memory leaks:
number of new unreferenced objects found. To display the details of all
the possible memory leaks:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug/
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
To trigger an intermediate memory scan:
# echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
Note that the orphan objects are listed in the order they were allocated
and one object at the beginning of the list may cause other subsequent
objects to be reported as orphan.

scan=off - stop the automatic memory scanning thread

Kmemleak can also be disabled at boot-time by passing "kmemleak=off" on
the kernel command line.
