Maybe remove the #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE block and move it into
stack_not_used...call it debug_stack_not_used.

{
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
unsigned long *n = end_of_stack(p);
do { /* Skip over canary */

} while (!*n);

return $(large_value)....maybe or just some known value.

Also, do you expect this to ever be used outside of sched.c? Maybe just
leave it as a static function there rather than an inline in the header.
