Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tracing/stack-tracer: introduce CONFIG_USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT

User stack tracing is just implemented for x86, but it is not x86 specific.
Introduce a generic config flag, that is currently enabled only for x86.
When other arches implements it, they will have to SELECT USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT
