start_kernel: Omit prevent_tail_call_optimization() for newer toolchains

prevent_tail_call_optimization() was added in
commit a9a3ed1eff36 ("x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try")
to work around stack canaries getting inserted into functions that would
initialize the stack canary in the first place.

Now that we have no_stack_protector function attribute (gcc-11+,
clang-7+) and use it on start_kernel(), remove the call to
prevent_tail_call_optimization() such that we may one day remove it
outright.
