The user_header gets caught by kmemleak with the following splat as
missing a free:
unreferenced object 0xffff99667a733d80 (size 96):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294892317 (age 62191.468s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

The BUG_ON()s are intended to crash so no need to clean up after
ourselves on error there. This is also a kernel/ subsys_init() we don't
need a respective exit call here as this is never modular, so just white
list it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
