Sorry if this mail corrupts the mail thread or had heavy mangling
since I lost this mail from my mailbox so I am sending this mail by
web gmail.

1. When we don't use page_owner, we don't want to waste any memory for
stackdepot hash array.
2. When we use page_owner, we want to have reasonable stackdeport hash array

With this configuration, it couldn't meet since we always need to
reserve a reasonable size for the array.
Can't we make the hash size as a kernel parameter?
With it, we could use it like this.

1. page_owner=off, stackdepot_stack_hash=0 -> no more wasted memory
when we don't use page_owner
2. page_owner=on, stackdepot_stack_hash=8M -> reasonable hash size
when we use page_owner.
