x86/unwinder/guess: Prevent using CONFIG_UNWINDER_GUESS=y with CONFIG_STACKDEPOT=y 

Stackdepot doesn't work well with CONFIG_UNWINDER_GUESS=y.
The 'guess' unwinder generate awfully large and inaccurate stacktraces,
thus stackdepot can't deduplicate stacktraces because they all look like
unique. Eventually stackdepot reaches its capacity limit:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 545 at lib/stackdepot.c:119 depot_save_stack+0x28e/0x550

Add a STACKDEPOT=n dependency to UNWINDER_GUESS to avoid the problem.
