We have a number of hwcaps for various SME subfeatures enumerated via ID_AA64SMFR0_EL1. Currently we advertise these without cross checking against the main SME feature, advertised in ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.SME which means that if the two are out of sync userspace can see a confusing situation where SME subfeatures are advertised without the base SME hwcap. This can be readily triggered by using the arm64.nosme override which only masks out ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.SME, and there have also been reports of VMMs which do the same thing. Fix this as we did previously for SVE in064737920b("arm64: Filter out SVE hwcaps when FEAT_SVE isn't implemented") by filtering out the SME subfeature hwcaps when FEAT_SME is not present.

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 reStructuredText 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.
