kmemleak: Slightly change the policy on newly allocated objects

Newly allocated objects are more likely to be reported as false
positives. Kmemleak ignores the reporting of objects younger than 5
seconds. However, this age was calculated after the memory scanning
completed which usually takes longer than 5 seconds. This patch
make the minimum object age calculation in relation to the start of the
memory scanning.
