Zhaoyang Huang 993f57e027 mm: use stack_depot_early_init for kmemleak
Mirsad report the below error which is caused by stack_depot_init()
failure in kvcalloc.  Solve this by having stackdepot use
stack_depot_early_init().

I hate to bring bad news again, but there seems to be a problem with the output of /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak:

Apparently, backtrace of called functions on the stack is no longer
printed with the list of memory leaks.  This appeared on Lenovo desktop
10TX000VCR, with AlmaLinux 8.7 and BIOS version M22KT49A (11/10/2022) and
6.2-rc1 and 6.2-rc2 builds.  This worked on 6.1 with the same
CONFIG_KMEMLEAK=y and MGLRU enabled on a vanilla mainstream kernel from
Mr.  Torvalds' tree.  I don't know if this is deliberate feature for some
reason or a bug.  Please find attached the config, lshw and kmemleak
output.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
