arm64: cpufeatures: Restrict NV support to FEAT_NV2

Browse source 
To anyone who has played with FEAT_NV, it is obvious that the level
of performance is rather low due to the trap amplification that it
imposes on the host hypervisor. FEAT_NV2 solves a number of the
problems that FEAT_NV had.

It also turns out that all the existing hardware that has FEAT_NV
also has FEAT_NV2. Finally, it is now allowed by the architecture
to build FEAT_NV2 *only* (as denoted by ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.NV_frac),
which effectively seals the fate of FEAT_NV.

Restrict the NV support to NV2, and be done with it. Nobody will
cry over the old crap. NV_frac will eventually be supported once
the intrastructure is ready.
