    aarch64: Clear canary value after stack_protect_test [PR96191]

    The stack_protect_test patterns were leaving the canary value in the
    temporary register, meaning that it was often still in registers on
    return from the function.  An attacker might therefore have been
    able to use it to defeat stack-smash protection for a later function.

            * config/aarch64/aarch64.md (stack_protect_test_<mode>): Set the
            CC register directly, instead of a GPR.  Replace the original GPR
            destination with an extra scratch register.  Zero out operand 3
            after use.
            (stack_protect_test): Update accordingly.
