Add generic exit-time stack-depth checking to CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE

Add generic exit-time stack-depth checking to CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE.

This also adds UML support.

Tested on UML and i386.

         If you're involved in UML kernel development and want to use gcov,
         say Y.  If you're unsure, say N.
 
+config DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
+	bool "Stack utilization instrumentation"
+	default N
+	help
+	  Track the maximum kernel stack usage - this will look at each
+	  kernel stack at process exit and log it if it's the deepest
+	  stack seen so far.
+
+	  This option will slow down process creation and destruction somewhat.
