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

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.
