mm/kmemleak.c: wait for scan completion before disabling free

Browse Source 
A crash is observed when kmemleak_scan accesses the object->pointer,
likely due to the following race.

TASK A             TASK B                     TASK C
kmemleak_write
 (with "scan" and
 NOT "scan=on")
kmemleak_scan()
                   create_object
                   kmem_cache_alloc fails
                   kmemleak_disable
                   kmemleak_do_cleanup
                   kmemleak_free_enabled = 0
                                              kfree
                                              kmemleak_free bails out
                                               (kmemleak_free_enabled is 0)
                                              slub frees object->pointer
update_checksum
crash - object->pointer
 freed (DEBUG_PAGEALLOC)

kmemleak_do_cleanup waits for the scan thread to complete, but not for
direct call to kmemleak_scan via kmemleak_write.  So add a wait for
kmemleak_scan completion before disabling kmemleak_free, and while at it
fix the comment on stop_scan_thread.
