In depot_alloc_stack with a potentially NULL prealloc. 2. In __stack_depot_save with a non-NULL prealloc. At the same time depot_init_slab can only return false when prealloc is NULL. As the second call site makes sure that prealloc is not NULL, the WARN_ON there can never trigger. Thus, drop the WARN_ON and also move the prealloc check from depot_init_slab to its first call site. Also change the return type of depot_init_slab to void as it now always returns true.
