kmemleak: add checksum to backtrace report
Change /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak report format slightly, adding "(extra info)" to the backtrace header: from: " backtrace:" to: " backtrace (crc <cksum>):" The <cksum> allows a user to see recurring backtraces without detailed/careful reading of multiline stacks. So after cycling kmemleak-test a few times, I know some leaks are repeating. bash-5.2# grep backtrace /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak | wc 62 186 1792 bash-5.2# grep backtrace /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak | sort -u | wc 37 111 1067 syzkaller parses kmemleak for "unreferenced object" only, so is unaffected by this change. Other github repos are moribund.
