due to attempt to mark pointer to struct vfsmount' as a gray object, which is embedded into struct mount' returned from alloc_vfsmnt(). Pass actual allocated `struct mount' pointer to kmemleak_not_leak() instead.

how about turning bd_mnt into a static instead and to hell with messing with annotations? It's not like one word of .bss was worth those convolutions...

due to attempt to mark pointer to struct vfsmount' as a gray object, which is embedded into struct mount' returned from alloc_vfsmnt().

Make `bd_mnt' static, avoiding need to tell kmemleak to mark it gray, as suggested by Al Viro.

block_dev: Remove kmemleak header include

No need to include kmemleak.h header, since the only kmemleak function call has been deleted from bdev_cache_init().
