Subject: lib: add note about process exit message for DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2023 19:28:09 +0100

DEBUG_STACK_USAGE doesn't only have an influence on the output of sysrq-T
and sysrq-P, it also enables a message at process exit.  See
check_stack_usage() in kernel/exit.c where this is implemented.
