x86/bugs: Do not use UNTRAIN_RET with IBPB on entry 

commit c62fa117c32bd1abed9304c58e0da6940f8c7fc2 upstream.

Since X86_FEATURE_ENTRY_IBPB will invalidate all harmful predictions
with IBPB, no software-based untraining of returns is needed anymore.
Currently, this change affects retbleed and SRSO mitigations so if
either of the mitigations is doing IBPB and the other one does the
software sequence, the latter is not needed anymore.
