Erhard reported that kmemleak was showing a warning at boot:

Which he bisected to a change in kmemleak, commit
23c2d497de ("mm: kmemleak: take a full lowmem check in kmemleak_*_phys()").
Because pmac_probe() is called before mem_topology_setup(), the min/
max PFN variables are still zero. That causes kmemleak_alloc_phys() to
ignore the allocation, because the checks against the PFN fail. Then
kmemleak_no_scan() can't find the allocation and prints warning.
Given that kmemleak_alloc_phys() is ignoring the allocation to begin
with, there's no need to call kmemleak_no_scan() at all, which avoids
the warning.
