mm: defer kmemleak object creation of module_alloc()

Yongqiang reports a kmemleak panic when module insmod/rmmod with KASAN
enabled(without KASAN_VMALLOC) on x86[1].

When the module area allocates memory, it's kmemleak_object is created
successfully, but the KASAN shadow memory of module allocation is not
ready, so when kmemleak scan the module's pointer, it will panic due to
no shadow memory with KASAN check.

  module_alloc
    __vmalloc_node_range
      kmemleak_vmalloc
				kmemleak_scan
				  update_checksum
    kasan_module_alloc
      kmemleak_ignore

Note, there is no problem if KASAN_VMALLOC enabled, the modules area
entire shadow memory is preallocated.  Thus, the bug only exits on ARCH
which supports dynamic allocation of module area per module load, for
now, only x86/arm64/s390 are involved.

Add a VM_DEFER_KMEMLEAK flags, defer vmalloc'ed object register of
kmemleak in module_alloc() to fix this issue.
