kernel/ucount.c: mark user_header with kmemleak_ignore()

Browse Source 
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.
