mm/alloc_tag: fix the kmemleak false positive issue in the allocation of the percpu variable tag->counters
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): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace (crc 0): kmemleak_alloc_percpu+0xb4/0xd0 pcpu_alloc_noprof+0x700/0x1098 load_module+0xd4/0x348 codetag_module_init+0x20c/0x450 codetag_load_module+0x70/0xb8 load_module+0xef8/0x1608 init_module_from_file+0xec/0x158 idempotent_init_module+0x354/0x608 __arm64_sys_finit_module+0xbc/0x150 invoke_syscall+0xd4/0x258 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0xb4/0x240 do_el0_svc+0x48/0x68 el0_svc+0x40/0xf8 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x10c/0x138 el0t_64_sync+0x1ac/0x1b0 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.
