The comment in include/linux/kcsan.h explains:
/*
* We use separate variables to store if we are in a nestable or flat
* atomic region. This helps make sure that an atomic region with
* nesting support is not suddenly aborted when a flat region is
* contained within. Effectively this allows supporting nesting flat
* atomic regions within an outer nestable atomic region. Support for
* this is required as there are cases where a seqlock reader critical
* section (flat atomic region) is contained within a seqlock writer
* critical section (nestable atomic region), and the "mismatching
* kcsan_end_atomic()" warning would trigger otherwise.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is it worth it, i.e. will it simplify the
design and code? If it simplifies the design (or makes the fast-path
significantly faster), then yes, but otherwise I prefer the simplest
possible solution here. AFAIK, it will not make it simpler nor faster.
Using non-symbolized stacks should not be the common use-case (how to
usefully debug any data-race?).

>From a design point of view, this complicates things on several
fronts. For one I would prefer having config options in one place,
however, most of these were added to "tame" syzbot, and keep reporting
volume initially low. I do not expect these to be switched frequently,
and for simplicity sake and to optimize for the common use-case, it'll
be better to keep it as-is. Eventually, these might even go away
completely.

I will add a comment to that effect above these options for v3.

Done @ v3.
