[PATCH 09/15] stackdepot: store next pool pointer in new_pool

[andrey . konovalov]

From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>

Instead of using the last pointer in stack_pools for storing the pointer
to a new pool (which does not yet store any stack records), use a new
new_pool variable.

This a purely code readability change: it seems more logical to store
the pointer to a pool with a special meaning in a dedicated variable.
