But we are not out of the woods yet. I'm also getting these:
unreferenced object 0xffff88007800efc0 (size 32):

Where it points to the allocation in jump_label_add_module() where it
allocates the jlm. And this does get freed in jump_label_del_module(). I
put in printks in add_module():
printk("alloc %p (%s)\n", jlm, mod->name);
and in del_module:
printk("free %p (%s)\n", jlm, mod->name);
And got this:
[ 29.917577] alloc ffff88007800efc0 (kvm_intel)
And removing kvm_intel, I got:
[ 364.965916] free ffff88007800efc0 (kvm_intel)
Thus it seems to be yet another false positive :-(
