Subject: [PATCH v2 03/12] ARM: Clean up definition of ARM_HAS_GROUP_RELOCS

Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel
has been bumped to 15.0.0, the first depends line of
ARM_HAS_GROUP_RELOCS is always true, so it can be safely removed.
Combine the !COMPILE_TEST dependency into the 'def_bool' line and update
the comment as well.
