Suggestion for further improvement:
stack_trace_save() shouldn't unwind beyond irq entry point so we wouldn't need filter_irq_stacks().
Probably all call sites doesn't care about random stack above irq entry point, so it doesn't
make sense to spend resources on unwinding non-irq stack from interrupt first an filtering out it later.
It would improve performance of stack_trace_save() called from interrupt and fix page_owner which feed unfiltered
stack to stack_depot_save(). Random non-irq part kills the benefit of using the stack_deopt_save().
