x86: disable stack-protector for __restore_processor_state()
The __restore_processor_state() fn restores %gs on resume from S3. As such, it cannot be protected by the stack-protector guard since %gs will not be correct on function entry. There are only a few other fns in this file and it should not negatively impact kernel security that they will also have the stack-protector guard removed (and so it's not worth moving them to another file). Without this change, S3 resume on a kernel built with CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y will fail.
