  x86_64, entry: Remove a bogus ret_from_fork optimization (2015-02-26 07:09:36 -0800)

Ingo, if you like these, feel free to pull.  I will try to review the scary
change *again* this evening if I have time.  In the mean time, these are
queued as is for -next.  I will remove them from my -next branch if they
turn out to be buggy or if they end up in -tip in any form.
