kasan: revert eviction of stack traces in generic mode
This partially reverts commits cc478e0b6bdf, 63b85ac56a64, 08d7c94d9635, a414d4286f34, and 773688a6cb24 to make use of variable-sized stack depot records, since eviction of stack entries from stack depot forces fixed- sized stack records. Care was taken to retain the code cleanups by the above commits. Eviction was added to generic KASAN as a response to alleviating the additional memory usage from fixed-sized stack records, but this still uses more memory than previously. With the re-introduction of variable-sized records for stack depot, we can just switch back to non-evictable stack records again, and return back to the previous performance and memory usage baseline. Before (observed after a KASAN kernel boot): pools: 597 refcounted_allocations: 17547 refcounted_frees: 6477 refcounted_in_use: 11070 freelist_size: 3497 persistent_count: 12163 persistent_bytes: 1717008 After: pools: 319 refcounted_allocations: 0 refcounted_frees: 0 refcounted_in_use: 0 freelist_size: 0 persistent_count: 29397 persistent_bytes: 5183536 As can be seen from the counters, with a generic KASAN config, refcounted allocations and evictions are no longer used. Due to using variable-sized records, I observe a reduction of 278 stack depot pools (saving 4448 KiB) with my test setup.
