With this, we no longer defer probing to the first access (whether that's
by the guest or KVM userspace). With our current small set of SBI
extensions where only a single one has a probe function, then this
simpler approach is good enough. We can always go back to the lazy
approach later if needed.

We're missing the change to riscv_vcpu_get_sbi_ext_single() which should
also drop the comment block explaining the limits to status knowledge
without initial probing (which we now do) and then just check for
available, i.e.
