MIPS: Disable stack checks on MIPS kernels

Disable stack checking on MIPS kernels.  Some distribution toolchains
might pass the -fstack-check option to gcc.  This results in a
store-doubleword instruction being emitted at the top of all
functions that checks the available stack space.  E.g.,

  a80000000001d740 <per_cpu_init>:
  a80000000001d740:       ffa0bfc0        sd      zero,-16448(sp)
  a80000000001d744:       2405ffc9        li      a1,-55
  a80000000001d748:       67bdffc0        daddiu  sp,sp,-64

Generally, this is undesirable, and especially on the SGI IP27
platform, it will trigger a NULL pointer dereference in
'_raw_spin_lock_irq' during early init.
