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.
