mm/memmap: prevent double scanning of memmap by kmemleak

Browse source

kmemleak explicitly scans the mem_map through the valid struct page
objects.  However, memmap_alloc() was also adding this memory to the gray
object list, causing it to be scanned twice.  Remove memmap_alloc() from
the scan list and add a comment to clarify the behavior.
