[PATCH v2 3/6] lib/stackdepot: introduce __stack_depot_save()

[Marco Elver <elver@google.com>]

Add __stack_depot_save(), which provides more fine-grained control over
stackdepot's memory allocation behaviour, in case stackdepot runs out of
"stack slabs".

Normally stackdepot uses alloc_pages() in case it runs out of space;
passing can_alloc==false to __stack_depot_save() prohibits this, at the
cost of more likely failure to record a stack trace.
