irqchip/gic-v5: Fix kmemleak L2 IST table entries false positives
L2 IST table entries are allocated with the kmalloc interface and their physical addresses are programmed in the GIC (either IST base address register or L1 IST table entries) but their virtual addresses are not stored in any kernel data structure because they are not needed at runtime - the L2 IST table entries are managed through system instructions but never dereferenced directly by the driver. This triggers kmemleak false positive reports: unreferenced object 0xffff00080039a000 (size 4096): comm "swapper/0", pid 0, jiffies 4294892296 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace (crc 0): kmemleak_alloc+0x34/0x40 __kmalloc_noprof+0x320/0x464 gicv5_irs_iste_alloc+0x1a4/0x484 gicv5_irq_lpi_domain_alloc+0xe4/0x194 irq_domain_alloc_irqs_parent+0x78/0xd8 gicv5_irq_ipi_domain_alloc+0x180/0x238 irq_domain_alloc_irqs_locked+0x238/0x7d4 __irq_domain_alloc_irqs+0x88/0x114 gicv5_of_init+0x284/0x37c of_irq_init+0x3b8/0xb18 irqchip_init+0x18/0x40 init_IRQ+0x104/0x164 start_kernel+0x1a4/0x3d4 __primary_switched+0x8c/0x94 Instruct kmemleak to ignore L2 IST table memory allocation virtual addresses to prevent these false positive reports.
