Subject: [PATCH v6 04/15] lockdep: Make check_prev_add() able to handle external stack_trace

Currently, a space for stack_trace is pinned in check_prev_add(), that
makes us not able to use external stack_trace. The simplest way to
achieve it is to pass an external stack_trace as an argument.

A more suitable solution is to pass a callback additionally along with
a stack_trace so that callers can decide the way to save or whether to
save. Actually crossrelease needs to do other than saving a stack_trace.
So pass a stack_trace and callback to handle it, to check_prev_add().
