And repeat the same ugliness in every single function that happens to use 
the stack_trace_save_tsk() API??

The correct solution is to define stack_trace_save_tsk() in the 
!CONFIG_STACKTRACE case too, as the patch below does.

Thanks,

The following commit:

  bc9bbb81730e ("x86: Fix get_wchan() to support the ORC unwinder")

Added stack_trace_save_tsk() use to __get_wchan(), while this method is not
unconditionally defined: it's not available in the !CONFIG_STACKTRACE case.

Give a default implementation that does nothing.
