x86/speculation/mds: Clear CPU buffers on exit to user

commit 04dcbdb8057827b043b3c71aa397c4c63e67d086 upstream.

Add a static key which controls the invocation of the CPU buffer clear
mechanism on exit to user space and add the call into
prepare_exit_to_usermode() and do_nmi() right before actually returning.

Add documentation which kernel to user space transition this covers and
explain why some corner cases are not mitigated.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16: Add an assembly macro equivalent to
 mds_user_clear_cpu_buffers() and use this in the system call exit path,
 as we don't have prepare_exit_to_usermode()]
