[PATCH] riscv: enable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT

From: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang at kernel.org>

riscv doesn't implement architecture-optimized bitsearching functions
such as find_first_{zero}_bit() etc.

When GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=n, find_first_bit() is implemented with
find_next_bit() which is less efficient. Enable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT
for riscv to get more optimized find_first_bit() implementation, an
initial test(lib/find_bit_benchmark) shows find_first_bit() performance
is improved by nearly 32%.
