Is it useful when we know
DISABLE_STACKPROTECTOR = -fno-stack-protector  ?

I'd rather want to apply this patch
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11628493/
and hard-code -fno-stack-protector where necessary.

cc-flags-y comes after KBUILD_CFLAGS
so that -fno-stack-protector can negate -fstack-protector(-strong)
