Subject: [PATCH v3 11/60] arm64: kaslr: drop special case for ThunderX in kaslr_requires_kpti()

ThunderX is an obsolete platform that shipped without support for the
EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL in its firmware. Now that we no longer misidentify
small KASLR offsets as randomization being enabled, we can drop the
explicit check for ThunderX as well, given that KASLR is known to be
unavailable.

Note that we never enable KPTI on these systems, in spite of what this
function returns. However, using non-global mappings for code that is
executable at EL1 is what tickles the erratum on these cores, regardless
of whether KPTI is enabled or not, so non-global mappings should simply
never be used here.
