Make whether to allow recording full stack, in cross-release feature,
switchable at boot time via a kernel parameter, 'crossrelease_fullstack'.
In case of a splat with no stack trace, one could just reboot and set
the kernel parameter to get the full data without having to recompile
the kernel.

Change CONFIG_CROSSRELEASE_STACK_TRACE default from N to Y, and
introduce the new kernel parameter.

This is really unnecessarily complex.

The proper logic is to introduce the crossrelease_fullstack boot parameter, and to 
also have a Kconfig option that enables it: 

	CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE_FULLSTACK=y

No #ifdefs please - just an "if ()" branch dependent on the current value of 
crossrelease_fullstack.

Thanks,

	Ingo

I mis-understood your suggestion. I will change it.

Ok. I will.
