[PATCH] staging: r8188eu: Remove some false positives from kmemleak

From: Larry Finger <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-05 15:21:06
Subsystem: staging subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds

When this driver preallocates some SKBs, kmemleak is unable to find that
allocated memory when it scans. When the driver is unloaded, that memory
is released; therefore, the report is a false positive.
