cgroup/kmemleak: Annotate alloc_page() for cgroup allocations

When the cgroup base was allocated with kmalloc, it was necessary to
annotate the variable with kmemleak_not_leak().  But because it has
recently been changed to be allocated with alloc_page() (which skips
kmemleak checks) causes a warning on boot up.

I was triggering this output:

 allocated 8388608 bytes of page_cgroup
 please try 'cgroup_disable=memory' option if you don't want memory cgroups
 kmemleak: Trying to color unknown object at 0xf5840000 as Grey

After a bit of debugging I tracked the object 0xf840000 (and others) down
to the cgroup code.  The change from allocating base with kmalloc to
alloc_page() has the base not calling kmemleak_alloc() which adds the
pointer to the object_tree_root, but kmemleak_not_leak() adds it to the
crt_early_log[] table.  On kmemleak_init(), the entry is found in the
early_log[] but not the object_tree_root, and this error message is
displayed.

If alloc_page() fails then it defaults back to vmalloc() which still uses
the kmemleak_alloc() which makes us still need the kmemleak_not_leak()
call.  The solution is to call the kmemleak_alloc() directly if the
alloc_page() succeeds.
