Currently, stack protector loads and stores are resolved during
LocalStackSlotAllocation (if the pass needs to run). When this is the
case, the base register assigned to the frame access is going to be one
of the vregs created during LocalStackSlotAllocation. This means that we
are keeping a pointer to the stack protector slot, and we're using this
pointer to load and store to it.
In case register pressure goes up, we may end up spilling this pointer
to the stack, which can be a security concern.
Instead, leave it to PEI to resolve the frame accesses. In order to do
that, we make all stack protector accesses go through frame index
operands, then PEI will resolve this using an offset from sp/fp/bp.

The LocalStackSlotPass pre-allocates a stack protector and makes sure
that it comes before the local variables on the stack.
We need to make sure that later during PEI we don't re-allocate a new
stack protector slot. If that happens, the new stack protector slot will
end up being **after** the local variables that it should be protecting.
Therefore, we would have two slots assigned for two different stack
protectors, one at the top of the stack, and one at the bottom. Since
PEI will overwrite the assigned slot for the stack protector, the load
that is used to compare the value of the stack protector will use the
slot assigned by PEI, which is wrong.
For this, we need to check if the object is pre-allocated, and re-use
that pre-allocated slot.
