Dmitry Vyukov 6ef9056952 mm/kmemleak.c: fix check for softirq context
in_softirq() is a wrong predicate to check if we are in a softirq
context.  It also returns true if we have BH disabled, so objects are
falsely stamped with "softirq" comm.  The correct predicate is
in_serving_softirq().

If user does cat from /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak previously they would
see this, which is clearly wrong, this is system call context (see the
comm):

unreferenced object 0xffff88805bd661c0 (size 64):

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.
