kasan: dynamically allocate stack ring entries
Instead of using a large static array, allocate the stack ring dynamically
via memblock_alloc().
The size of the stack ring is controlled by a new kasan.stack_ring_size
command-line parameter. When kasan.stack_ring_size is not provided, the
default value of 32 << 10 is used.
When the stack trace collection is disabled via kasan.stacktrace=off, the
stack ring is not allocated.
