[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] arm: detect NEON by RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_NEON flag only

[Jan Viktorin <viktorin@rehivetech.com>]

The RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_NEON was only a result of the gcc testing. However,
the target CPU may not support NEON or the user can disable to use it (as it
does not always improve the performance).

The RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_NEON detection is now based on both, the __ARM_NEON_FP
feature from gcc and CONFIG_RTE_ARCH_ARM_NEON from the .config. The memcpy
implemention is driven by RTE_MACHINE_CPUFLAG_NEON, so the reason to disable
NEON is hidden for the actual code.
