While simple, it changes the timing of stack_depot_early_init() that was
supposed to be at a single callsite - now it's less predictable and depends
on e.g. kernel parameter ordering. Some arch/config combo could break,
dunno. Setting a variable that stack_depot_early_init() checks should be
more robust.
