entry_ibpb() is designed to follow Intel's IBPB specification regardless
of CPU. This includes invalidating RSB entries.

Hence, if IBPB on VMEXIT has been selected, entry_ibpb() as part of the
RET untraining in the VMEXIT path will take care of all BTB and RSB
clearing so there's no need to explicitly fill the RSB anymore.
