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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
