This just can't work. As long as preemption enabled, task could
migrate on another cpu anytime.
You could use per-task flag, although it's possible to miss some
in-irq stacktraces:

depot_save_stack()
    if (current->stackdeport_recursion)
          goto fast_exit;
    current->stackdepot_recursion++
    <IRQ>
           ....
           depot_save_stack()
                 if (current->stackdeport_recursion)
                      goto fast_exit;

This is clearly a wrong way to check whether is slab available or not.
Besides you need to check
vmalloc() for availability, not slab.
Given that STAC_ALLOC_ORDER is 2 now, I think it should be fine to use
alloc_pages() all the time.
Or fix condition, up to you.
