Subject: [PATCH] arm64: neon: replace generic definition of may_use_simd()
Git-commit: f960181d5d88ab6c84be8fb5e7f75080c78dfdd1
Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc1
References: fate#325866
In preparation of modifying the logic that decides whether kernel mode
NEON is allowable, which is required for SVE support, introduce an
implementation of may_use_simd() that reflects the current reality, i.e.,
that SIMD is allowed in any context.
