kmemleak has a flag to enable or disable task stack scanning.
Unfortunately, this flag does not work as intended. Even when the user
disables stack scanning, kmemleak will scan them. Stacks are allocated
with vmalloc and are included in the list of objects to scan of
kmemleak.
Introduce a new function kmemleak_mark_stack that marks an allocation as
a stack. This allows kmemleak to properly decide whether to scan or not
the object based on the respective flag.

On architectures without VMAP_STACK, we still need the above otherwise
it could lead to some false positives.
