[PATCH v3 2/2] RISC-V: KVM: add KVM_CAP_RISCV_USERSPACE_SBI

The new capability allows userspace to implement SBI extensions that KVM
does not handle.  This allows userspace to implement any SBI ecall as
userspace already has the ability to disable acceleration of selected
SBI extensions.

This is a VM capability, because userspace will most likely want to have
the same behavior for all VCPUs.  We can easily make it both a VCPU and
a VM capability if there is demand in the future.
