kasan: revert eviction of stack traces in generic mode

This partially reverts commits cc478e0b, 63b85ac5, 08d7c94d,
a414d428, and 773688a6 to make use of variable-sized stack depot
records, since eviction of stack entries from stack depot forces fixed-
sized stack records.  Care was taken to retain the code cleanups by the
above commits.

Eviction was added to generic KASAN as a response to alleviating the
additional memory usage from fixed-sized stack records, but this still
uses more memory than previously.

With the re-introduction of variable-sized records for stack depot, we can
just switch back to non-evictable stack records again, and return back to
the previous performance and memory usage baseline.

Before (observed after a KASAN kernel boot):

  pools: 597
  refcounted_allocations: 17547
  refcounted_frees: 6477
  refcounted_in_use: 11070
  freelist_size: 3497
  persistent_count: 12163
  persistent_bytes: 1717008

After:

  pools: 319
  refcounted_allocations: 0
  refcounted_frees: 0
  refcounted_in_use: 0
  freelist_size: 0
  persistent_count: 29397
  persistent_bytes: 5183536

As can be seen from the counters, with a generic KASAN config, refcounted
allocations and evictions are no longer used.  Due to using variable-sized
records, I observe a reduction of 278 stack depot pools (saving 4448 KiB)
with my test setup.
