[PATCH] x86: remove STACKPROTECTOR_ALL

[Arjan van de Ven]

STACKPROTECTOR_ALL has a really high overhead (runtime and stack footprint)
and is not really worth it protection wise (the normal STACKPROTECTOR is
in effect for all functions with buffers already), so lets just remove
the option entirely.
