ACK on removing these old and outdated config fragments.

But it still doesn't solve the missing AOSP/Android defconfig problem
in the mainline kernel. Though there are no not many AOSP developers
running mainline kernel on their devices or developers who care about
the state of running AOSP with mainline kernel, but how about we push
$android-mainline's gki_defconfig (or mainline equivalent of
gki_defconfig) in the mainline?

For example:
Submit $android-mainline/arch/arm64/configs/gki_defconfig as
kernel/configs/gki_aarch64.config and then users can prepare
android_defconfig by running:

KCONFIG_CONFIG=arch/arm64/configs/android_defconfig \
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -m -r arch/arm64/configs/defconfig \
kernel/configs/gki_aarch64.config
