Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Do not select ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT

On 32-bit ARM, conversions between `double` and `long long` require
runtime library support. Since the kernel does not currently provide
this library support, the amdgpu driver fails to build:

  ERROR: modpost: "__aeabi_l2d" [drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko] undefined!
  ERROR: modpost: "__aeabi_d2ulz" [drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu.ko] undefined!

As Arnd reports, there are likely no 32-bit ARM platforms which can use
the amdgpu driver anyway, due to lack of features like 64-bit
prefetchable BARs. Since amdgpu is currently the only real user of
ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT, drop support for this option instead of
bothering to implement the library functions.
