Subject: [PATCH 1/1] lib/stackdepot: print disabled message only if truly disabled

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@...gle.com>

Currently, if stack_depot_disable=off is passed to the kernel
command-line after stack_depot_disable=on, stack depot prints a message
that it is disabled, while it is actually enabled.

Fix this by moving printing the disabled message to
stack_depot_early_init. Place it before the
__stack_depot_early_init_requested check, so that the message is printed
even if early stack depot init has not been requested.

Also drop the stack_table = NULL assignment from disable_stack_depot,
as stack_table is NULL by default.

Fixes: e1fdc403349c ("lib: stackdepot: add support to disable stack depot")
