[RFC PATCH v2 05/11] RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote TLB flush when possible

If IPI calls are injected using SBI IPI calls then remote TLB flush
using SBI RFENCE calls is much faster because using IPIs for remote
TLB flush would still endup as SBI IPI calls with extra processing
on kernel side.

It is now possible to have specialized hardware (such as RISC-V AIA)
which allows S-mode software to directly inject IPIs without any
assistance from M-mode runtime firmware.

This patch extends remote TLB flush functions to use IPIs whenever
underlying IPI operations are suitable for remote FENCEs.
