[PATCH 5/5] x86/head/64: Disable stack protection for head$(BITS).o

On 64-bit, the startup_64_setup_env() function added in
866b556efa12 ("x86/head/64: Install startup GDT")
has stack protection enabled because of set_bringup_idt_handler().

At this point, %gs is not yet initialized, and this doesn't cause a
crash only because the #PF handler from the decompressor stub is still
installed and handles the page fault.

Disable stack protection for the whole file, and do it on 32-bit as
well to avoid surprises.
