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

  78c4374ef8 ("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.
