Subject: [PATCH 05/11] arm64: Kconfig: Clean up tautological LLVM version
 checks

Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel
has been bumped to 13.0.1, several conditions become tautologies, as
they will always be true because the build will fail during the
configuration stage for older LLVM versions. Drop them, as they are
unnecessary.
