Subject: x86: Use __nostackprotect for sme_encrypt_kernel

From: Laura Abbott <labbott@redhat.com>

commit 91cfc88c66bf8ab95937606569670cf67fa73e09 upstream.

Commit bacf6b499e11 ("x86/mm: Use a struct to reduce parameters for SME
PGD mapping") moved some parameters into a structure.

The structure was large enough to trigger the stack protection canary in
sme_encrypt_kernel which doesn't work this early, causing reboots.

Mark sme_encrypt_kernel appropriately to not use the canary.
