This patch propagated to far in the past. Support for per-cpu areas in
kmemleak was added with commit f528f0b8e5 (kmemleak: Handle percpu
memory allocation) in 3.3-rc1. That patch introduced the correct
#include for kmemleak.h.

Commit 100d13c should only be applied to stable 3.3 and not earlier.

Thanks.
