mm: use stack_depot_early_init for kmemleak
Mirsad report the below error which is caused by stack_depot_init() failure in kvcalloc. Solve this by having stackdepot use stack_depot_early_init().

This appeared on Lenovo desktop 10TX000VCR, with AlmaLinux 8.7 and BIOS version M22KT49A (11/10/2022) and 6.2-rc1 and 6.2-rc2 builds. This worked on 6.1 with the same CONFIG_KMEMLEAK=y and MGLRU enabled on a vanilla mainstream kernel from Mr. Torvalds' tree. I don't know if this is deliberate feature for some reason or a bug.
