leaking_addresses: cache architecture name
Currently we are repeatedly calling `uname -m`. This is causing the script to take a long time to run (more than 10 seconds to parse /proc/kallsyms). We can use Perl state variables to cache the result of the first call to `uname -m`. With this change in place the script scans the whole kernel in under a minute. Cache machine architecture in state variable. Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding <me@tobin.cc>
