x86/unwinder/guess: Prevent using CONFIG_UNWINDER_GUESS=y with CONFIG_STACKDEPOT=y
Stackdepot doesn't work well with CONFIG_UNWINDER_GUESS=y. The 'guess' unwinder generate awfully large and inaccurate stacktraces, thus stackdepot can't deduplicate stacktraces because they all look like unique. Eventually stackdepot reaches its capacity limit: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 545 at lib/stackdepot.c:119 depot_save_stack+0x28e/0x550 Call Trace: ? kasan_kmalloc+0x144/0x160 ? depot_save_stack+0x1f5/0x550 ? do_raw_spin_unlock+0xda/0xf0 ? preempt_count_sub+0x13/0xc0 <...90 lines...> ? do_raw_spin_unlock+0xda/0xf0 Add a STACKDEPOT=n dependency to UNWINDER_GUESS to avoid the problem.

This option enables the "guess" unwinder for unwinding kernel stack
traces. It scans the stack and reports every kernel text address it
