Subject: lib/stacktrace: drop impossible WARN_ON for depot_init_pool
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 22:16:00 +0100

depot_init_pool has two call sites:

1. 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_pool 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_pool to its first call site.

Also change the return type of depot_init_pool to void as it now always
returns true.
