x86: stackprotector & PARAVIRT fix

on paravirt enabled 64-bit kernels the paravirt ops do function
calls themselves - which is bad with the stackprotector - for
example pda_init() loads 0 into %gs and then does MSR_GS_BASE
write (which modifies gs.base) - but that MSR write is a function
call on paravirt, which with stackprotector tries to read the
stack canary from the PDA ... crashing the bootup.

the solution was suggested by Arjan van de Ven: to exclude paravirt.c
from stackprotector, too many lowlevel functionality is in it. It's
not like we'll have paravirt functions with character arrays on
their stack anyway...
