Remove the MITIGATION_GDS_FORCE Kconfig option, which aggressively disables AVX as a mitigation for Gather Data Sampling (GDS) vulnerabilities. This option is not widely used by distros. While removing the Kconfig option, retain the runtime configuration ability through the `gather_data_sampling=force` kernel parameter. This allows users to still enable this aggressive mitigation if needed, without baking it into the kernel configuration. Simplify the kernel configuration while maintaining flexibility for runtime mitigation choices.
