Arm system emulation targets always have TARGET_BIG_ENDIAN clear, so
there is no need to have handling in armv7m_load_kernel() for the
case when it is defined.  Remove the unnecessary code.

Side notes:
  * our M-profile implementation is always little-endian (that is, it
    makes the IMPDEF choice that the read-only AIRCR.ENDIANNESS is 0)
  * if we did want to handle big-endian ELF files here we should do it
    the way that hw/arm/boot.c:arm_load_elf() does, by looking at the
    ELF header to see what endianness the file itself is
