[PATCH] Add the __stack_chk_fail() function


GCC emits a call to a __stack_chk_fail() function when the stack canary is
not matching the expected value.

Since this is a bad security issue; lets panic the kernel rather than limping
along; the kernel really can't be trusted anymore when this happens.
