If we are talking about a configuration in which page_owner is the
only stackdepot user in the system, then for page_owner=off it
probably makes more sense to disable stackdepot completely instead of
setting it to a lower value. This is a lot easier to do in terms of
correctness.
But if there are other users (e.g. KASAN), their stackdepot usage may
actually dominate that of page_owner.

Do we expect any data to be stored into stack_table_def before
setup_stack_hash_order() is called?
If the answer is no, then we could probably drop stack_table_def and
allocate the table right in setup_stack_hash_order()?
