x86: Remove force_iret()
force_iret() was originally intended to prevent the return to user mode with the SYSRET or SYSEXIT instructions, in cases where the register state could have been changed to be incompatible with those instructions. The entry code has been significantly reworked since then, and register state is validated before SYSRET or SYSEXIT are used. force_iret() no longer serves its original purpose and can be eliminated.
