I checked the spec,
https://docs.riscv.org/reference/isa/v20260120/unpriv/q-st-ext.html#quad-compute,
the fcvt.q.l/lu always produce an exact result and are unaffected by
rounding mode.  You are right, allowing RM operands for them is
unnecessary.

Since gas/testcase/gas/riscv/zqinx don't use rm operand for them (of
course since that's illegal), so removing them from the opcode table
should be enough.  Looks good, thanks.
