irqchip/gic-v5: Fix kmemleak L2 IST table entries false positives
L2 IST table entries are allocated with the kmalloc interface and their
physical addresses are programmed in the GIC (either IST base address
register or L1 IST table entries) but their virtual addresses are not
stored in any kernel data structure because they are not needed at runtime
- the L2 IST table entries are managed through system instructions but
never dereferenced directly by the driver.
This triggers kmemleak false positive reports:
unreferenced object 0xffff00080039a000 (size 4096):
comm "swapper/0", pid 0, jiffies 4294892296
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Instruct kmemleak to ignore L2 IST table memory allocation virtual
addresses to prevent these false positive reports.
