Remove NPTL_GUARD_WITHIN_STACK

Commit 4b2f65b253 increased the user
space stack by 4x to resolve certain stack overflows.  As such it
no longer makes sense to worry about a single extra page which
might or might not be part of the process stack.  There is now
ample headroom for normal usage.

By eliminating this configure check we are also resolving the
following segfault which intentionally occurs at configure time
and may be logged in dmesg.

  conftest[22156]: segfault at 7fbf18a47e48 ip 00000000004007fe
  sp 00007fbf18a4be50 error 6 in conftest[400000+1000]
