Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] kcsan: Cleanup of main KCSAN Kconfig option
This patch cleans up the rules of the 'KCSAN' Kconfig option by:
1. implicitly selecting 'STACKTRACE' instead of depending on it;
2. depending on DEBUG_KERNEL, to avoid accidentally turning KCSAN on if
the kernel is not meant to be a debug kernel;
3. updating the short and long summaries.
