kmemleak: Do no create the clean-up thread during kmemleak_disable()

Browse source

The kmemleak_disable() function could be called from various contexts
including IRQ. It creates a clean-up thread but the kthread_create()
function has restrictions on which contexts it can be called from,
mainly because of the kthread_create_lock. The patch changes the
kmemleak clean-up thread to a workqueue.
