Subject: [PATCH 2/2 x86#stackprotector] x86: conditionalize stack canary handling
 in hot path

Impact: no unnecessary stack canary swapping during context switch

There's no point in moving stack_canary around during context switch
if it's not enabled.  Conditionalize it.

Ditto as the previous one.
