[PATCH v4] ARM: fix atags_to_fdt with stack-protector-strong

[Kees Cook]

Building with CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG triggers protection code
generation under CONFIG_ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT but this is too early for
being able to use any of the stack_chk code. Explicitly disable it for
only the atags_to_fdt bits.

v4:
- single invocation of cc-option, rmk
- kept arnd's ack, since it's functionally the same as v3
v3:
- actually send to everyone correctly
v2:
- use call cc-option unconditionally, arnd
