Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/2] lib, stackdepot: check stackdepot handle before accessing slabs

This RFC patch series addresses suggestion discussed in an earlier
RFC [1]. Since earlier RFC was about SLUB subsystem, and current
changes only involve stackdepot, I am submitting the patches in
a new thread.

The changes of this patch set are as follows:

PATCH-1: Checks validity of a stackdepot handle before proceeding
to access stackdepot slab/objects.

PATCH-2: Adds a helper in stackdepot, to allow users to print
stack entries just by specifying the stackdepot handle.

  lib, stackdepot: check stackdepot handle before accessing slabs.
  lib, stackdepot: Add helper to print stack entries.
