If stack_depot_save_flags() allocates memory it always drops __GFP_NOLOCKDEP flag. So when KASAN tries to track __GFP_NOLOCKDEP allocation we may end up with lockdep splat like bellow:
====================================================== WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected 6.9.0-rc3+ #49 Not tainted ------------------------------------------------------ kswapd0/149 is trying to acquire lock: ffff88811346a920 (&xfs_nondir_ilock_class){++++}-{4:4}, at: xfs_reclaim_inode+0x3ac/0x590 [xfs]
but task is already holding lock: ffffffff8bb33100 (fs_reclaim){+.+.}-{0:0}, at: balance_pgdat+0x5d9/0xad0
which lock already depends on the new lock.

Always preserve __GFP_NOLOCKDEP to fix this.
