  The EFI runtime services ABI permits calls to EFI to clobber
certain FPSIMD/NEON registers, as per the AArch64 procedure call
standard.

Saving/restoring the clobbered registers around such calls needs
KERNEL_MODE_NEON, but the dependency is missing from Kconfig.

This patch adds the missing dependency.

This will aid bisection of the patches implementing support for the
ARM Scalable Vector Extension (SVE).

We could've used select KERNEL_MODE_NEON since it's a feature needed by
EFI but this works for me as well as KERNEL_MODE_NEON is def_bool y
already. Either way:

Agreed.  I assumed this is moot anyway, since KERNEL_MODE_NEON will
rarely/never be deselected in practice.
