AArch64: Remove dead qualifier initialisation.
Removes an unused qualifier initialization in `encode_asimd_fcvt`. No functional change.
In the AArch64 assembler, the encode_asimd_fcvt function initializes a variable qualifier which is then never used. This commit removes the unnecessary initialization, cleaning up the code.
In Details
In opcodes/aarch64-asm.c, the encode_asimd_fcvt function had a dead initialization of the qualifier variable. This commit removes it.
For Context
The GNU Assembler (GAS) translates assembly code into machine code. This commit removes an unused variable initialization in the AArch64-specific part of the assembler. This doesn't change how the assembler works, but it makes the code cleaner and easier to understand.
