From: Shu Wang <shuw...@redhat.com> Kmemleak reports about a thousand false positives for fusion-> cmd_list[]. Root casue is the cmd_list objects are allocated from slab allocator, and stored its pointer in object allocated by page allocator. The fix will tell kmemleak to track and scan fusion object.
