kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak file
Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex covers all the cases now).
