[RFC 01/17] x86/asm/64: Remove the restore_c_regs_and_iret label

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Sep 06 2017 - 17:41:10 EST


The only user was the 64-bit opportunistic SYSRET failure path, and
that path didn't really need it. This change makes the
opportunistic SYSRET code a bit more straightforward and gets rid of
the label.
