x86/speculation/mds: Revert CPU buffer clear on double fault exit

Browse Source 
commit 88640e1dcd089879530a49a8d212d1814678dfe7 upstream.

The double fault ESPFIX path doesn't return to user mode at all --
it returns back to the kernel by simulating a #GP fault.
prepare_exit_to_usermode() will run on the way out of
general_protection before running user code.

mitigated on the return from do_nmi() to provide almost complete
coverage.
- Double fault (#DF):
A double fault is usually fatal, but the ESPFIX workaround, which can
be triggered from user space through modify_ldt(2) is a recoverable
double fault. #DF uses the paranoid exit path, so explicit mitigation
in the double fault handler is required.
- Machine Check Exception (#MC):
Another corner case is a #MC which hits between the CPU buffer clear
