[RFC PATCH 10/10] Revert "arm64/sve: Limit vector length to 512 bits by default"

[Dave Martin]

This reverts commit cdedb254ccddd9c6a8db91b3737690327e48dfe7.

Vector length limiting via Kconfig is no longer required now that
the default vector length can be manipulated at runtime via procfs.

-	help
-	  SVE vector lengths greater than 512 bits impact the size of signal
-	  frames and therefore the size requirements for any userspace stack
-	  onto which a signal may be delivered.  Using larger vector lengths
-	  may therefore cause problems for some software.  For this reason, the
-	  kernel currently limits the maximum vector length for userspace
-	  software to 512 bits by default.
-
-	  Enabling this option removes the limit, so that the full vector
-	  length implemented by the hardware is made available to userspace.
-
-	  Be aware: in general, software that (a) does not use SVE (including
-	  via libraries), or (b) does not handle signals, or (c) uses default
-	  process/thread stack sizes and does not use sigaltstack(2) should be
-	  unaffected by enabling larger vectors.  Software that does not meet
-	  these criteria or that relies on certain legacy uses of the ucontext
-	  API may be affected however.
-
-	  This is a transitional compatibility option only and will be replaced
-	  by a userspace ABI extension in the future.  Do not assume that this
-	  option will be available with compatible effect in future Linux
-	  releases.
-
-	  If you are developing software that uses SVE and understand the
-	  implications, you can consider saying Y here.
-
-	  If unsure, say N.
