[PATCH 04/23] aarch64: Remove unused operand SM3_IMM2
This patch removes the AARCH64_OPND_SM3_IMM2 operand, which was intended for use with the sm3tt* instructions, but was ultimately unused. The operand is removed from the enum aarch64_opnd and related code in the assembler. This simplifies the code and removes a potential source of confusion.
