stackdepot: use variable size records for non-evictable entries
With the introduction of stack depot evictions, each stack record is now fixed size, so that future reuse after an eviction can safely store differently sized stack traces. In all cases that do not make use of evictions, this wastes lots of space. Fix it by re-introducing variable size stack records (up to the max allowed size) for entries that will never be evicted. We know if an entry will never be evicted if the flag STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_GET is not provided, since a later stack_depot_put() attempt is undefined behavior. With my current kernel config that enables KASAN and also SLUB owner tracking, I observe (after a kernel boot) a whopping reduction of 296 stack depot pools, which translates into 4736 KiB saved. The savings here are from SLUB owner tracking only, because KASAN generic mode still uses refcounting.
