[PATCH v5 1/2] powerpc/32: add stack protector support

This functionality was tentatively added in the past
(commit 6533b7c16ee5 ("powerpc: Initial stack protector
(-fstack-protector) support")) but had to be reverted
(commit f2574030b0e3 ("powerpc: Revert the initial stack
protector support") because of GCC implementing it differently
whether it had been built with libc support or not.

Now, GCC offers the possibility to manually set the
stack-protector mode (global or tls) regardless of libc support.

This time, the patch selects HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR only if
-mstack-protector-guard=tls is supported by GCC.

On PPC32, as register r2 points to current task_struct at
all time, the stack_canary located inside task_struct can be
used directly by using the following GCC options:
-mstack-protector-guard=tls
-mstack-protector-guard-reg=r2
-mstack-protector-guard-offset=offsetof(struct task_struct, stack_canary))

The protector is disabled for prom_init and bootx_init as
it is too early to handle it properly.

 v5: Using get_random_canary() and masking canary with CANARY_MASK

 v4: disable stack protector in bootx_init

 v3: the offset is now defined by a rule in the Makefile. No need anymore
     to take stack_canary out of the randomised area of task_struct
