x86_64: remove bogus optimization in sysret_signal

This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me.
AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were,
it would go wrong.  To wit, try loading a module whose init
function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash
(presumably with a wrong user stack pointer).

This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet
when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to
int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to
have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK.

I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no
_TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are
already superfluous.  If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call
do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do.
