arm64/sve: Thin out initialisation sanity-checks for sve_max_vl
Now that the kernel SVE support is reasonably mature, it is excessive to default sve_max_vl to the invalid value -1 and then sprinkle WARN_ON()s around the place to make sure it has been initialised before use. The cpufeatures code already runs pretty early, and will ensure sve_max_vl gets initialised. This patch initialises sve_max_vl to something sane that will be supported by every SVE implementation, and removes most of the sanity checks. The checks in find_supported_vector_length() are retained for now. If anything goes horribly wrong, we are likely to trip a check here sooner or later.
