Subject: [RFC v2 03/13] lockdep: Make check_prev_add can use a stack_trace of other context

Currently, check_prev_add() can only save its current context's stack
trace. But it would be useful if a seperated stack_trace can be taken
and used in check_prev_add(). Crossrelease feature can use
check_prev_add() with another context's stack_trace.
