kasan: support kasan.stacktrace for SW_TAGS
Add support for the kasan.stacktrace command-line argument for Software
Tag-Based KASAN.
The following patch adds a command-line argument for selecting the stack
ring size, and, as the stack ring is supported by both the Software and
the Hardware Tag-Based KASAN modes, it is natural that both of them have
support for kasan.stacktrace too.
