gcc-plugins: arm-ssp: Prepare for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support
We will be enabling THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support for ARM, which means
that we can no longer load the stack canary value by masking the stack
pointer and taking the copy that lives in thread_info. Instead, we will
be able to load it from the task_struct directly, by using the TPIDRURO
register which will hold the current task pointer when
THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is in effect. This is much more straight-forward,
and allows us to declutter this code a bit while at it.
Note that this means that ARMv6 (non-v6K) SMP systems can no longer use
this feature, but those are quite rare to begin with, so this is a
reasonable trade off.
