[PATCH, GAS/ARM] Fix selected_cpu with default CPU and -mcpu

[Thomas Preudhomme]

Hi Nick,

I started to look into that but it seems that the only way to skip a test is 
based on the target triplet which would be identical in both case. Would a 
"require" mechanism makes sense where one could express that a test need a 
feature FOO and the testsuite would call hasFOO to check whether the feature is 
available?

By the way, from what I could see many of the FAIL could be made to PASS even 
with a default CPU but that's another story.

Best regards,

Thomas
