[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] lib/stackdepot: allow optional init and stack_table allocation by kvmalloc()

Currently, enabling CONFIG_STACKDEPOT means its stack_table will be allocated
from memblock, even if stack depot ends up not actually used. The default size
of stack_table is 4MB on 32-bit, 8MB on 64-bit.

This is fine for use-cases such as KASAN which is also a config option and
has overhead on its own. But it's an issue for functionality that has to be
actually enabled on boot (page_owner) or depends on hardware (GPU drivers)
and thus the memory might be wasted. This was raised as an issue when trying
to add stackdepot support for SLUB's debug object tracking functionality. It's
common to build kernels with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and enable slub_debug on boot
only when needed, or create specific kmem caches with debugging for testing
purposes.

It would thus be more efficient if stackdepot's table was allocated only when
actually going to be used. This patch thus makes the allocation (and whole
stack_depot_init() call) optional:

- Add a CONFIG_STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT flag to keep using the current
  well-defined point of allocation as part of mem_init(). Make CONFIG_KASAN
  select this flag.
- Other users have to call stack_depot_init() as part of their own init when
  it's determined that stack depot will actually be used. This may depend on
  both config and runtime conditions. Convert current users which are
  page_owner and several in the DRM subsystem. Same will be done for SLUB
  later.
- Because the init might now be called after the boot-time memblock allocation
  has given all memory to the buddy allocator, change stack_depot_init() to
  allocate stack_table with kvmalloc() when memblock is no longer available.
  Also handle allocation failure by disabling stackdepot (could have
  theoretically happened even with memblock allocation previously), and don't
  unnecessarily align the memblock allocation to its own size anymore.

Hi, I'd appreciate review of the DRM parts - namely that I've got correctly
that stack_depot_init() is called from the proper init functions and iff
stack_depot_save() is going to be used later. Thanks!
