    AArch64: Don't set flush-subnormals-to-zero flag on startup

    This flag has been set on startup since
65618fdda0f272a823e6701966421bdca0efa301.
    However, This causes some of the math-related tests to fail as they report
    zero instead of a tiny number. This fixes at least
    /usr/tests/lib/msun/ldexp_test and possibly others.
    Additionally, setting this flag prevents printf() from printing subnormal
    numbers in decimal form.
