locking/lockdep: Fix stacktrace mess

There is some complication between check_prevs_add() and
check_prev_add() wrt. saving stack traces. The problem is that we want
to be frugal with saving stack traces, since it consumes static
resources.

We'll only know in check_prev_add() if we need the trace, but we can
call into it multiple times. So we want to do on-demand and re-use.

A further complication is that check_prev_add() can drop graph_lock
and mess with our static resources.

In any case, the current state; after commit:

  ce07a941 ("locking/lockdep: Make check_prev_add() able to handle external stack_trace")

is that we'll assume the trace contains valid data once
check_prev_add() returns '2'. However, as noted by Josh, this is
false, check_prev_add() can return '2' before having saved a trace,
this then result in the possibility of using uninitialized data.
Testing, as reported by Wu, shows a NULL deref.

So simplify.

Since the graph_lock() thing is a debug path that hasn't
really been used in a long while, take it out back and avoid the
head-ache.

Further initialize the stack_trace to a known 'empty' state; as long
as nr_entries == 0, nothing should deref entries. We can then use the
'entries == NULL' test for a valid trace / on-demand saving.
