    x86/spec-ctrl: Remove conditional IRQs-on-ness for INT $0x80/0x82 paths
    
    Before speculation defences, some paths in Xen could genuinely get away with
    being IRQs-on at entry.  But XPTI invalidated this property on most paths, 
and
    attempting to maintain it on the remaining paths was a mistake.
    
    Fast forward, and DO_SPEC_CTRL_COND_IBPB (protection for AMD BTC/SRSO) is 
not
    IRQ-safe, running with IRQs enabled in some cases.  The other actions taken 
on
    these paths happen to be IRQ-safe.
    
    Make entry_int82() and int80_direct_trap() unconditionally Interrupt Gates
    rather than Trap Gates.  Remove the conditional re-adjustment of
    int80_direct_trap() in smp_prepare_cpus(), and have entry_int82() explicitly
    enable interrupts when safe to do so.
    
    In smp_prepare_cpus(), with the conditional re-adjustment removed, the
    clearing of pv_cr3 is the only remaining action gated on XPTI, and it is out
    of place anyway, repeating work already done by smp_prepare_boot_cpu().  
Drop
    the entire if() condition to avoid leaving an incorrect vestigial remnant.
    
    Also drop comments which make incorrect statements about when its safe to
    enable interrupts.
    
    This is XSA-446 / CVE-2023-46836
