Currently, a space for stack_trace is pinned in check_prev_add(), that makes us not able to use external stack_trace. The simplest way to achieve it is to pass an external stack_trace as an argument. A more suitable solution is to pass a callback additionally along with a stack_trace so that callers can decide the way to save or whether to save. Actually crossrelease needs to do other than saving a stack_trace. So pass a stack_trace and callback to handle it, to check_prev_add().
