x86/module: Revert "Deal with GOT based stack cookie load on Clang < 17"
Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel has been raised to 17.0.1, the workaround added by 78c4374ef8b8 ("x86/module: Deal with GOT based stack cookie load on Clang < 17") will never be included, as the final clause in the preprocessor conditional is always false. Revert the change to clean up the dead code. Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260517-bump-minimum-supported-llvm-version-to-17-v2-12-b3b8cda46bdd@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
