lib: stackdepot: add support to disable stack depot

Browse Source 
Add a kernel parameter stack_depot_disable to disable stack depot.  So
that stack hash table doesn't consume any memory when stack depot is
disabled.

The use case is CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without page_owner=on.  Without this
patch, stackdepot will consume the memory for the hashtable.  By default,
it's 8M which is never trivial.

With this option, in CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system, page_owner=off,
stack_depot_disable in kernel command line, we could save the wasted
memory for the hashtable.

stack_depot_disable= [KNL]
Setting this to true through kernel command line will
disable the stack depot thereby saving the static memory
consumed by the stack hash table. By default this is set
to false.
