This makes both STACKDEPOT and STACKDEPOT_ALWAYS_INIT configurable by
users: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/kbuild/kconfig-language.html#menu-attributes

Usually the way to add documentation for non-user-configurable options
is to add text in the "help" section of the config.

I think the change here is not what was intended.
