[ Upstream commit 0aca8a5575544bd21b3363058afb8f1e81505150 ]

kvmppc_pmd_alloc() and kvmppc_pte_alloc() allocate some memory but then
pud_populate() and pmd_populate() will use __pa() to reference the newly
allocated memory.

Since kmemleak is unable to track the physical memory resulting in false
positives, silence those by using kmemleak_ignore().
