On systems with large number of CPUs, the following soft lockup splat might sometimes happen: [ 2656.001617] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#364 stuck for 21s!

This is unnecessary since such individual per-CPU pointers are not tracked anyway. Create a new object_percpu_tree_root rbtree that stores a single __percpu pointer together with an OBJECT_PERCPU flag for the kmemleak metadata. Scanning needs to be done for all per_cpu_ptr() pointers with a cond_resched() between each CPU iteration to avoid RCU stalls.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
