[RFC PATCH v1 40/50] arch/*/include/asm/stackprotector.h: Use get_random_canary() consistently

... in boot_init_stack_canary().
This is the archetypical example of where the extra security of
get_random_bytes() is wasted. The canary is only important as
long as it's stored in __stack_chk_guard.
It's also a great example of code that has been copied around
a lot and not updated.
Remove the XOR with LINUX_VERSION_CODE as it's pointless; the inclusion
of utsname() in init_std_data in the random seeding obviates it.
The XOR with the TSC on x86 and mtfb() on powerPC were left in,
as I haven't proved them redundant yet. For those, we call
get_random_long(), xor, and mask manually.
FUNCTIONAL CHANGE: mips and xtensa were changed from 64-bit
get_random_long() to 56-bit get_random_canary() to match the
others, in accordance with the logic in CANARY_MASK.
(We could do 1 bit better and zero *one* of the two high bytes.)
