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 [1] when attempting 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 only 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.

Fix this by moving page_ext_init_flatmem_late() below kmem_cache_init() so that slab_is_available() is true during stack_depot_init(). SPARSEMEM doesn't have this issue, as it doesn't do page_ext_init_flatmem_late(), but a different page_ext_init() even later in the boot process. Thanks to Mike Rapoport for pointing out the FLATMEM init ordering issue. While at it, also actually resolve a checkpatch warning in stack_depot_init() from DRM CI, which was supposed to be in the original patch already.
