The __restore_processor_state() fn restores %gs on resume from S3.  As
such, it cannot be protected by the stack-protector guard since %gs will
not be correct on function entry.

There are only a few other fns in this file and it should not negatively
impact kernel security that they will also have the stack-protector
guard removed (and so it's not worth moving them to another file).

Without this change, S3 resume on a kernel built with
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y will fail.
