Subject: lib/stackdepot: store next pool pointer in new_pool
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2023 19:14:34 +0200

Instead of using the last pointer in stack_pools for storing the pointer
to a new pool (which does not yet store any stack records), use a new
new_pool variable.

This a purely code readability change: it seems more logical to store the
pointer to a pool with a special meaning in a dedicated variable.
