[PATCH] drm/i915: remove always-defined CONFIG_AS_MOVNTDQA

[PATCH] drm/i915: remove always-defined CONFIG_AS_MOVNTDQA

[Masahiro Yamada]

CONFIG_AS_MOVNTDQA was introduced by commit 0b1de5d58e19 ("drm/i915:
Use SSE4.1 movntdqa to accelerate reads from WC memory").

We raise the minimal supported binutils version from time to time.
The last bump was commit 1fb12b35e5ff ("kbuild: Raise the minimum
required binutils version to 2.21").

I confirmed the code in $(call as-instr,...) can be assembled by the
binutils 2.21 assembler and also by Clang's integrated assembler.

Remove CONFIG_AS_MOVNTDQA, which is always defined.

Indeed, I see 2.21 was released in 2010, and I see a commit modifying
existing support for movntdqa in 2008; it looks like these have been
supported for a while.  Thanks for this cleanup; the less we have to
invoke tools during make invocation, to lower the overhead of Kbuild.

Please discard this.

I decided to fold this (10/16) into the following big series
because I was suggested to do so.
