kselftest/arm64: mte: Fix MTE feature detection

To check whether the CPU and kernel support the MTE features we want
to test, we use an (emulated) CPU ID register read. However we only
check against a very particular feature version (0b0010), even though
the ARM ARM promises ID register features to be backwards compatible.

While this could be fixed by using ">=" instead of "==", we should
actually use the explicit HWCAP2_MTE hardware capability, exposed by the
kernel via the ELF auxiliary vectors.

That moves this responsibility to the kernel, and fixes running the
tests on machines with FEAT_MTE3 capability.
