ANDROID: arm64: simd: omit capability check in may_use_simd()

may_use_simd() should only be called by code that may use FP/SIMD when
it is available, and so checking whether the system supports FP/SIMD in
the first place should be redundant - the caller in question (e.g., a
SIMD crypto algorithm) should never be initialized in the first place.

Checking the system capability involves jump labels and therefore code
patching, which interferes with our ability to perform an integrity
check on some of the crypto code. So let's get rid of the capability
check altogether.
