[PATCH v1] arm64/sysreg: Remove unused define ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS

The define ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS is now unused and feature id
fields don't always have 4 bits. Remove it.

It is still used in tools/testing/selftests/kvm/arm64/set_id_regs.c
but this uses the define in tools/arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h.
I have submitted a separate patch to remove it from these as well:
