kernel 5 new option to zero the kernel stack on return from kernel functions, worthwhile for workstation?

I compiled a custom fedora 5.0 kernel, and one of the new options was
to have the kernel zero the stack on return from kernel functions.  The
cost was about 1% on a single cpu system.  I made the judgement that
this would be great on cloud servers, but wasn't really necessary for a
local machine.  Is there a reason it might be good for a local machine
to have this enabled?
