x86/boot: Disable stack protector for early boot code
On 64-bit, this will prevent crashes when the canary access is changed
from %gs:40 to %gs:__stack_chk_guard(%rip). RIP-relative addresses from
the identity-mapped early boot code will target the wrong address with
zero-based percpu. KASLR could then shift that address to an unmapped
page causing a crash on boot.
This early boot code runs well before user-space is active and does not
need stack protector enabled.
