x86/bugs: Don't fill RSB on context switch with eIBRS
User->user Spectre v2 attacks (including RSB) across context switches are already mitigated by IBPB in cond_mitigation(), if enabled globally or if either the prev or the next task has opted in to protection. RSB filling without IBPB serves no purpose for protecting user space, as indirect branches are still vulnerable. User->kernel RSB attacks are mitigated by eIBRS. In which case the RSB filling on context switch isn't needed, so remove it.
