[PATCH v2 3/8] riscv: stacktrace: disable KASAN instrumentation for stacktrace.o

[Wang Han]

KASAN records stack traces for every alloc/free, which means it walks
the unwinder very frequently. Instrumenting the stack trace collection
code itself adds substantial overhead and makes the traces themselves
noisier.

Mark stacktrace.o as not KASAN-instrumented, matching the arm, arm64
and x86 treatment of their stack unwinding code. This is a prerequisite
preference for the upcoming reliable unwinder, but the change is valid
on its own.
