powerpc: Avoid broken GCC __attribute__((optimize))
Commit 7053f80d ("powerpc/64: Prevent stack protection in early boot") introduced a couple of uses of __attribute__((optimize)) with function scope, to disable the stack protector in some early boot code. Unfortunately, and this is documented in the GCC man pages [0], overriding function attributes for optimization is broken, and is only supported for debug scenarios, not for production: the problem appears to be that setting GCC -f flags using this method will cause it to forget about some or all other optimization settings that have been applied. So the only safe way to disable the stack protector is to disable it for the entire source file.
