kmemleak: Simplify the reports logged by the scanning thread

Browse source 
Because of false positives, the memory scanning thread may print too
much information. This patch changes the scanning thread to only print
the number of newly suspected leaks. Further information can be read
from the /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file.
