[PATCH v2 05/11] KVM: arm64: selftests: Delete core_reg_fixup

From: Andrew Jones <ajones at ventanamicro.com>

core_reg_fixup() complicates sharing the get-reg-list test with
other architectures. Rather than work at keeping it, with plenty
of #ifdeffery, just delete it, as it's unlikely to test a kernel
based on anything older than v5.2 with the get-reg-list test,
which is a test meant to check for regressions in new kernels.
(And, an older version of the test can still be used for older
kernels if necessary.)
