In case the library is tracking busy subsystem, simply
printing stack for every active reference will spam log
with long, hard to read, redundant stack traces. To improve
readabilty following changes have been made:
- reports are printed per stack_handle - log is more compact,
- added display name for ref_tracker_dir - it will differentiate
multiple subsystems,
- stack trace is printed indented, in the same printk call,
- info about dropped references is printed as well.

We only have four callers of ref_tracker_dir_init() .

Why not simply add a name on them, and avoid this magic ?

If this can be done in one patch, that's great.
