As pointed out, this is not a stable commit, the series was just posted for
review and there will be v2. So instead of "this fixes the commit..." I
suggest writing the patch assuming it's a preparation for the patch
"mm/slub: use stackdepot"... and I can then make it part of the series.
So it should instead explain that for slub_debug we will need a way to
trigger stack_depot_early_init() based on boot options and so this patch
introduces it...

I think the approach should be generic for stackdepot, not tied to a
function that belongs to slab with 3 different implementations.
E.g. in stackdepot.h declare a variable e.g. "stack_depot_want_early_init"
that is checked in stack_depot_early_init() above to call stack_depot_init().

This looks good, it would just set the "stack_depot_want_early_init"
variable instead. But logically should be part of "mm/slub: use
stackdepot...", not part of patch that introduces the variable. That so if
you don't mind I would move it there with credit.
