Indeed, another false positive (I should use modules more often ;).
Here's a patch:

Subject: [PATCH] kmemleak: Scan the jump label module section

Objects allocated in jump_label_add_module() are currently reported as
leaks, though the pointers are stored in the module jump label section.
This patch informs kmemleak that this section needs to be scanned.
