mm: use stack_depot_early_init for kmemleak 

Mirsad report the below error which is caused by stack_depot_init()
failure in kvcalloc.  Solve this by having stackdepot use
stack_depot_early_init().

I hate to bring bad news again, but there seems to be a problem with the output of /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak:

Apparently, backtrace of called functions on the stack is no longer
printed with the list of memory leaks.  This appeared on Lenovo desktop
10TX000VCR, with AlmaLinux 8.7 and BIOS version M22KT49A (11/10/2022) and
6.2-rc1 and 6.2-rc2 builds.  This worked on 6.1 with the same
CONFIG_KMEMLEAK=y and MGLRU enabled on a vanilla mainstream kernel from
Mr.  Torvalds' tree.  I don't know if this is deliberate feature for some
reason or a bug.  Please find attached the config, lshw and kmemleak
output.
