x86/entry/64: Remove the SYSCALL64 fast path
(cherry picked from commit 21d375b6b34ff511a507de27bf316b3dde6938d9)
The SYCALLL64 fast path was a nice, if small, optimization back in the good
old days when syscalls were actually reasonably fast. Now there is PTI to
slow everything down, and indirect branches are verboten, making everything
messier. The retpoline code in the fast path is particularly nasty.
Just get rid of the fast path. The slow path is barely slower.
