Make whether to allow recording full stack, in cross-release feature,
switchable at boot time via a kernel parameter, 'crossrelease_fullstack'.
In case of a splat with no stack trace, one could just reboot and set
the kernel parameter to get the full data without having to recompile
the kernel.
Change CONFIG_CROSSRELEASE_STACK_TRACE default from N to Y, and
introduce the new kernel parameter.
