gcc/expr.c: Remove historic workaround for broken SIMD subreg
A long time ago, using a parallel to take a subreg of a SIMD register was broken. This temporary fix[1] (from 2003) spilled these registers to memory and reloaded the appropriate part to obtain the subreg. The fix initially existed for the benefit of the PowerPC E500 - a platform for which GCC removed support a number of years ago. Regardless, a proper mechanism for taking a subreg of a SIMD register exists now anyway. This patch removes the workaround thus preventing SIMD registers being dumped to memory unnecessarily - which sometimes can't be fixed by later passes.
