tracing: Fix a kmemleak false positive in tracing_map

The address stored in elts->pages will be regarded as leaked. That is, the elts->pages[i] will have pointers loaded onto it as well, and without telling kmemleak about it, those pointers will look like memory without a reference. To fix this, call kmemleak_alloc to tell kmemleak to scan elts->pages[i] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211124140801.87121-1-chenjun102@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Chen Jun <chenjun102@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
