Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/boot: Remove unused function __fortify_panic()

That function is only used when the kernel is compiled with
FORTIFY_SOURCE and when the kernel proper string.h header is used. The
decompressor code doesn't use the kernel proper header but has local
copy which doesn't contain any fortified implementations of the various
string functions. As such __fortify_panic() can never be called from the
decompressor so let's remove it.

Since v1:
	* Fixed typo in function
	* Added () after __fortify_panic mention in the changelog...
