memdump_user usually gets fed unchecked userspace input.  Blasting a
full backtrace into dmesg every time is a bit excessive - I'm not sure
on the kernel rule in general, but at least in drm we're trying not to
let unpriviledge userspace spam the logs freely.  Definitely not entire
warning backtraces.

It also means more filtering for our CI, because our testsuite exercises
these corner cases and so hits these a lot.
