  Now that LD_HWCAP_MASK (or glibc.tune.hwcap_mask) is read early enough
to influence cpu feature check in aarch64, use it to influence
multiarch selection.  Setting LD_HWCAP_MASK such that it clears
HWCAP_CPUID will now disable multiarch for the binary.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.c
	(init_cpu_features): Use glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.

LGTM.

I noted the hwcap_mask get logic is duplicated over various places.  Should we
define a helper macro for it?

Sorry I missed this suggestion, I have posted a patch for it now that
applies on top of my patchset.
