x86: cleanup stack protector
Impact: cleanup Make the following cleanups. * remove duplicate comment from boot_init_stack_canary() which fits better in the other place - cpu_idle(). * move stack_canary offset check from __switch_to() to boot_init_stack_canary(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
