In slab_post_alloc_hook(), kmemleak check is skipped when
gfpflags_allow_spinning() returns false since commit af92793e52c3
("slab: Introduce kmalloc_nolock() and kfree_nolock().")
Therefore, unconditionally calling kmemleak_not_leak() in
alloc_slab_obj_exts() would trigger the following warning:

kmemleak: Trying to color unknown object at 0xffff8881057f5000 as Grey
Call Trace:

Add the allow_spin check in alloc_slab_obj_exts() to eliminate the above
warning.
