Subject: lib/stacktrace: drop impossible WARN_ON for depot_init_slab
Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2023 21:49:37 +0100

depot_init_slab has two call sites:

1. In depot_alloc_stack with a potentially NULL prealloc.
2. In __stack_depot_save with a non-NULL prealloc.

At the same time depot_init_slab can only return false when prealloc is
NULL.

As the second call site makes sure that prealloc is not NULL, the WARN_ON
there can never trigger. Thus, drop the WARN_ON and also move the prealloc
check from depot_init_slab to its first call site.

Also change the return type of depot_init_slab to void as it now always
returns true.
