The __stack_depot_save() may be used by some subsystems even before
the stack depot is initialized. So add a check of stack_table in
__stack_depot_save() to make sure no oops in this case.

Does that currently happen, or only after patch 2/2 it starts happening via
kmemleak?

In case it's only after 2/2 I don't think this is truly "Fixes"?

Yes, currently it happens after patch 2/2 it starts happening via kmemleak,

The reason why I take it as the first patch is because I think this can 
avoid

exceptions when there is only patch2, such as when we use git bisect to 
debug

Yes, it is indeed for patch2 at present, it is to fix the situation that 
kmemleak

has no backtrace in the boot phase, and at the same time, it can also 
prevent

patch2 from entering the stable kernel and causing panic
