FWIW, I'm also seeing kmemleak report a leak with v4.7-rc1, in
a different scenario (just normal desktop use).  Not done much
digging so far, but this commit (9082e87bf) looks like it might be
relevant -- lots of the following:

(+Christoph)

With kernel v4.7-rc1 and XFS I see that the blkdev_issue_zeroout() calls
triggered by xfstests make kmemleak complain. I hadn't seen this with any
previous kernel version.
