LOG: [clang] Ignore GCC 11 [[malloc(x)]] attribute

Ignore the `[[malloc(x)]]` or `[[malloc(x, 1)]]` function attribute
syntax added in [GCC 11][1] and print a warning instead of an error.

Unlike `[[malloc]]` with no arguments (which is supported by Clang),
GCC uses the one or two argument form to specify a deallocator for
GCC's static analyzer.

Code currently compiled with `[[malloc(x)]]` or
`__attribute((malloc(x)))` fails with the following error:
`'malloc' attribute takes no arguments`.

-The ``malloc`` attribute indicates that the function acts like a system memory
-allocation function, returning a pointer to allocated storage disjoint from the
-storage for any other object accessible to the caller.
+The ``malloc`` attribute has two forms with 
diff erent functionality. The first
+is when it is used without arguments, where it marks that a function acts like
+a system memory allocation function, returning a pointer to allocated storage
+that does not alias storage from any other object accessible to the caller.
+
+The second form is when ``malloc`` takes one or two arguments. The first
+argument names a function that should be associated with this function as its
+deallocation function. When this form is used, it enables the compiler to
+diagnose when the incorrect deallocation function is used with this variable.
+However the associated warning, spelled `-Wmismatched-dealloc` in GCC, is not
+yet implemented in clang.
