    x86/spec-ctrl: Fix confusion between SPEC_CTRL_EXIT_TO_XEN{,_IST}
    
    c/s 3fffaf9c13e9 ("x86/entry: Avoid using alternatives in NMI/#MC paths")
    dropped the only user, leaving behind the (incorrect) implication that Xen 
had
    split exit paths.
    
    Delete the unused SPEC_CTRL_EXIT_TO_XEN and rename SPEC_CTRL_EXIT_TO_XEN_IST
    to SPEC_CTRL_EXIT_TO_XEN for consistency.
    
    No functional change.
