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

Description

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.
