[PATCH] arm64: fpsimd: Bring cond_yield asm macro in line with new rules

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb+git@google.com>]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

We no longer disable softirqs or preemption when doing kernel mode SIMD,
and so for fully preemptible kernels, there is no longer a need to do any
explicit yielding (and for non-preemptible kernels, yielding is not
needed either).

That leaves voluntary preemption, where only explicit yield calls may
result in a reschedule. To retain the existing behavior for such a
configuration, we should take the new situation into account, where the
preempt count will be zero rather than one, and yielding to pending
softirqs is unnecessary.

Fixes: aefbab8e77eb ("arm64: fpsimd: Preserve/restore kernel mode NEON at context switch")
