    kbuild: Abort build on bad stack protector flag · 228d96c6

    Before, the stack protector flag was sanity checked before .config had
    been reprocessed. This meant the build couldn't be aborted early, and
    only a warning could be emitted followed later by the compiler blowing
    up with an unknown flag. This has caused a lot of confusion over time,
    so this splits the flag selection from sanity checking and performs the
    sanity checking after the make has been restarted from a reprocessed
    .config, so builds can be aborted as early as possible now.
    
    Additionally moves the x86-specific sanity check to the same location,
    since it suffered from the same warn-then-wait-for-compiler-failure
    problem.
