gcc/expr.c: Remove historic workaround for broken SIMD subreg

Browse Source 
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.
