x86/asm: Make asm export of __ref_stack_chk_guard unconditional
Clang does not tolerate the use of non-TLS symbols for the per-CPU stack
protector very well, and to work around this limitation, the symbol
passed via the -mstack-protector-guard-symbol= option is never defined
in C code, but only in the linker script, and it is exported from an
assembly file. This is necessary because Clang will fail to generate the
correct %GS based references in a compilation unit that includes a
non-TLS definition of the guard symbol being used to store the stack
cookie.
This problem is only triggered by symbol definitions, not by
declarations, but nonetheless, the declaration in <asm/asm-prototypes.h>
is conditional on __GENKSYMS__ being #define'd, so that only genksyms
will observe it, but for ordinary compilation, it will be invisible.
This is causing problems with the genksyms alternative gendwarfksyms,
which does not #define __GENKSYMS__, does not observe the symbol
declaration, and therefore lacks the information it needs to version it.
Adding the #define creates problems in other places, so that is not a
straight-forward solution. So take the easy way out, and drop the
conditional on __GENKSYMS__, as this is not really needed to begin with.
