arm64 currently lacks support for -fstack-protector. Add
similar functionality to arm to detect stack corruption.

I realized today that the patch I gave before was not going to work for recent
trees because of changes to CC_STACKPROTECTOR that were not in my working tree
before. This should be the patch to actually work against recent kernels.
