Subject: [PATCH v2 16/18] mm/ksw: add recursive corruption test

Introduce a test case simulating stack corruption across recursive calls.
This scenario writes to a local buffer at every recursion depth up to a
configured maximum, allowing validation that KStackWatch can detect
corruption in nested stack frames.
