I would probably suggest moving the conditions out to a separate
RUSTC_SUPPORTS_ARM config option similar to what I did in commit
d077242d68a3 ("rust: support for shadow call stack sanitizer").

This way it will be simpler to adjust this logic when the target obtains
support for this sanitizer.

Also, we may need the same change for CONFIG_CFI too.
