Miguel Ojeda bcaa01f4f4 arm64: rust: clean Rust 1.85.0 warning using softfloat target 
commit 446a8351f1 upstream.

Starting with Rust 1.85.0 (to be released 2025-02-20), `rustc` warns
[1] about disabling neon in the aarch64 hardfloat target:

    warning: target feature `neon` cannot be toggled with
             `-Ctarget-feature`: unsound on hard-float targets
             because it changes float ABI
      |
      = note: this was previously accepted by the compiler but
              is being phased out; it will become a hard error
              in a future release!
      = note: for more information, see issue #116344
              <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/116344>

Thus, instead, use the softfloat target instead.

While trying it out, I found that the kernel sanitizers were not enabled
for that built-in target [2]. Upstream Rust agreed to backport
the enablement for the current beta so that it is ready for
the 1.85.0 release [3] -- thanks!

However, that still means that before Rust 1.85.0, we cannot switch
since sanitizers could be in use. Thus conditionally do so.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
