[RFC PATCH 4/7] arm64/fpsimd: Don't warn when EFI execution context is preemptible

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb at kernel.org>
Kernel mode FP/SIMD no longer requires preemption to be disabled, so
only warn on uses of FP/SIMD from preemptible context if the fallback
path is taken for cases where kernel mode NEON would not be allowed
otherwise.
