arm64: uaccess: remove vestigal UAO support

Now that arm64 no longer uses UAO, remove the vestigal feature detection
code and Kconfig text.

User Access Override (UAO; part of the ARMv8.2 Extensions)
causes the 'unprivileged' variant of the load/store instructions to
be overridden to be privileged.
This option changes get_user() and friends to use the 'unprivileged'
variant of the load/store instructions. This ensures that user-space
really did have access to the supplied memory. When addr_limit is
set to kernel memory the UAO bit will be set, allowing privileged
access to kernel memory.
Choosing this option will cause copy_to_user() et al to use user-space
memory permissions.
The feature is detected at runtime, the kernel will use the
regular load/store instructions if the cpu does not implement the
feature.
