for the change here, but there's a way to make it simpler (see below).

stack_bucket_number_order seems like a redundant variable, that should
at least be __ro_after_init. All code that does "if
(stack_bucket_number_order) ..." could just do "if (kasan_enabled())
..." and use STACK_BUCKET_NUMBER_ORDER_MAX constant directly instead.

The code here could be simplified if it was removed. No idea why it
was introduced in the first place. I think f9987921cb541 introduced it
and there it said "complemented with a boot-time kernel parameter",
but that never happened.

So I'd be in favor of removing that variable, which will also simplify
this code.
