aarch64: fix check for SVE support in assembler
Due to GCC bug 110901 -mcpu can override -march setting when compiling
asm code and thus a compiler targetting a specific cpu can fail the
configure check even when binutils gas supports SVE.

The workaround is that explicit .arch directive overrides both -mcpu
and -march, and since that's what the actual SVE memcpy uses the
configure check should use that too even if the GCC issue is fixed
independently.
