[PATCH 2/2 x86#stackprotector] x86: conditionalize stack canary handlingin hot path

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Jan 27 2009 - 23:31:53 EST


Impact: no unnecessary stack canary swapping during context switch

There's no point in moving stack_canary around during context switch
if it's not enabled. Conditionalize it.

Ditto as the previous one.
