Subject: [PATCH v2] lib/stackdepot: Fix global out-of-bounds in stackdepot

If the depot_index = STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS - 2 and next_slab_inited = 0,
then it will cause array out-of-bounds access, so that we should modify
the detection to avoid this array out-of-bounds bug.

Assume depot_index = STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS - 3
Consider following call flow sequence:

stack_depot_save()
   depot_alloc_stack()
      if (unlikely(depot_index + 1 >= STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS)) //pass
      depot_index++  //depot_index = STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS - 2
      if (depot_index + 1 < STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS) //enter
         smp_store_release(&next_slab_inited, 0); //next_slab_inited = 0
      init_stack_slab()
	     if (stack_slabs[depot_index] == NULL) //enter

stack_depot_save()
   depot_alloc_stack()
      if (unlikely(depot_index + 1 >= STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS)) //pass
      depot_index++  //depot_index = STACK_ALLOC_MAX_SLABS - 1
      init_stack_slab(&prealloc)
         stack_slabs[depot_index + 1]  //here get global out-of-bounds
