From: Pawan Gupta <pawan.kumar.gupta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 48a2440d0f20c826b884e04377ccc1e4696c84e9 upstream. CPU buffers are currently cleared after call to exc_nmi, but before register state is restored. This may be okay for MDS mitigation but not for RDFS. Because RDFS mitigation requires CPU buffers to be cleared when registers don't have any sensitive data. Move CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS after RESTORE_ALL_NMI.
