Doesn't the inspection time increase significantly when checking pointers inside the structures?

Wi-Fi team encountered memory leak issues in the Wi-Fi code, and we with Wi-Fi team found that the mem_leak tool was not considering struct interior pointers and report it as memory leak. This happens when a structure is referenced through one of its members rather than through the base pointer returned by malloc.
Added support for interior pointer detection, per-region tracking, and overflow detection for incomplete results.
