[PATCH][aarch64] Put vector fnma instruction into canonical form for better code generation.

This patch is a follow up to a discussion at:

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2017-06/msg00126.html

For some reason the simd version of fnma in aarch64-simd.md
is not in the canonical form of having the neg operator on 
the first operand and instead has it on the second.  This 
results in sub-optimal code generation (an extra dup instruction).

I have moved the 'neg', rebuilt GCC and retested with this patch
There were no regressions.  OK to checkin?

	to canonical location.
