The kmemleak code sometimes complains about the following leak:

unreferenced object 0xffff8000102e0000 (size 32768):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294937323 (age 71.240s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):
    00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................

The memory object in this case is for efi_rt_stack_top and is allocated
in an initcall. So this is certainly a false positive. Mark the object
as not a leak to quash it.
