Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64: properly initialise the stackprotector canary on
 SMP.

commit 06ec27aea9fc ("powerpc/64: add stack protector support")
doesn't initialise the stack canary on SMP secondary CPU's paca,
leading to the following false positive report from the
stack protector.

smp: Bringing up secondary CPUs ...
Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: __schedule+0x978/0xa80
CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 4.19.0-rc7-next-20181010-autotest-autotest #1

This patch properly initialises the stack_canary of the secondary
idle tasks.
