ARM: 9271/1: vfp: Add hwcap for FEAT_AA32BF16



Advanced SIMD BFloat16 (FEAT_AA32BF16) is a feature present in AArch32
state for Armv8 and is represented by ISAR6.BF16 identification
register.

This feature denotes the presence of VCVT, VCVTB, VCVTT, VDOT, VFMAB,
VFMAT and VMMLA instructions and hence adding a hwcap will enable the
userspace to check it before trying to use those instructions.
