3.16.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Huacai Chen <che...@lemote.com>

commit 7bbaf27d9c83037b6e60a818e57bdbedf6bc15be upstream.

Calling __stack_chk_guard_setup() in decompress_kernel() is too late
that stack checking always fails for decompress_kernel() itself.  So
remove __stack_chk_guard_setup() and initialize __stack_chk_guard before
we call decompress_kernel().

Original code comes from ARM but also used for MIPS and SH, so fix them
together.  If without this fix, compressed booting of these archs will
fail because stack checking is enabled by default (>=4.16).
