[PATCH v2] x86: Disable kernel stack offset randomization for !TSC

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

For x86 kernel stack offset randomization uses the RDTSC instruction, 
which causes an invalid opcode exception with hardware that does not 
implement this instruction:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

Therefore do not use randomization where the CPU does not have the TSC 
feature.

Changes from v1:

- Disable randomization at run time rather than in configuration.
