Do you get any kmemleak false positives without this patch? It would be
good to include them in the commit message.

Without seeing a false positive caused by this, I'm not convinced it is
the right approach. You mentioned CMA but telling kmemleak about the
whole CMA region is a pretty big hammer. I'd rather add individual
kmemleak_alloc_*() calls in cma_alloc().
