Subject: [PATCH 2/2] lockdep: Pass a callback arg to check_prev_add() to handle stack_trace

Currently, a separate stack_trace instance cannot be used in
check_prev_add(). The simplest way to achieve it is to pass a
stack_trace instance to check_prev_add() as an argument after
saving it. However, unnecessary saving can happen if so implemented.

The proper solution is to pass a callback function additionally along
with a stack_trace so that a caller can decide the way to save, for
example, doing nothing, calling save_trace() or doing something else.

Actually, crossrelease don't need to save stack_trace of current but
only need to copy stack_traces from temporary buffers to the global
stack_trace[].
