[PATCH v2 2/4] arm64: vdso32: drop test for -march=armv8-a

From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Tue Oct 19 2021 - 18:37:07 EST


As Arnd points out:
gcc-4.8 already supported -march=armv8, and we require gcc-5.1 now, so
both this #if/#else construct and the corresponding
"cc32-option,-march=armv8-a" check should be obsolete now.
