This is redundant, __stack_depot_save() below already calls filter_irq_stacks().

@entries is initialized in non-instrumented code, so passing it to
filter_irq_stacks() etc. will result in false positives, unless we
explicitly unpoison it.
(right now KMSAN does not instrument kernel/stacktrace.c, but it
probably should)
