Subject: [RFC][PATCH] PAGE_OWNER now depends on STACKTRACE_SUPPORT


One of the enhancements I made to the PAGE_OWNER code was to make
it use the generic stack trace support.  However, there are some
architectures that do not support it, like m68k.  So, make
PAGE_OWNER also depend on having STACKTRACE_SUPPORT.

This isn't ideal since it restricts the number of places
PAGE_OWNER runs now, but it at least hits all the major
architectures.

commit: 2a561c9d47c295ed91984c2b916a4dd450ee0279 [484/499] debugging-keep-track-of-page-owners-fix
config: make ARCH=m68k allmodconfig

All warnings:

warning: (PAGE_OWNER && STACK_TRACER && BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE && KMEMCHECK) selects STACKTRACE which has unmet direct dependencies (STACKTRACE_SUPPORT)
