lkdtm/stackleak: avoid spurious failure

Browse Source 
The lkdtm_STACKLEAK_ERASING() test scans for a contiguous block of
poison values between the low stack bound and the stack pointer, and
fails if it does not find a sufficiently large block.

This can happen legitimately if the scan the low stack bound, which
could occur if functions called prior to lkdtm_STACKLEAK_ERASING() used
a large amount of stack. If this were to occur, it means that the erased
portion of the stack is smaller than the size used by the scan, but does
not cause a functional problem

In practice this is unlikely to happen, but as this is legitimate and
would not result in a functional problem, the test should not fail in
this case.

Remove the spurious failure case.
