For reasons that are not currently apparent during cpufeature enumeration we maintain a pseudo register for SMCR which records the maximum supported vector length using the value that would be written to SMCR_EL1.LEN to configure it. This is not exposed to userspace and is not sufficient for detecting unsupportable configurations, we need the more detailed checks in vec_update_vq_map() for that since we can't cope with missing vector lengths on late CPUs and KVM requires an exactly matching set of supported vector lengths as EL1 can enumerate VLs directly with the hardware. Remove the code, replacing the usage in sme_setup() with a query of the vq_map.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
