[PATCH] riscv: Turn has_fpu into a static key if FPU

From: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang at kernel.org>

The has_fpu check sits at hot code path: switch_to(). Currently, has_fpu
is a bool variable if FPU, switch_to() checks it each time, we can
optimize out this check by turning the has_fpu into a static key.

Before the patch:
	...
	ccc7c783		lbu     a5,-820(a5) # ffffffff80cab098 <has_fpu>
	e3b5			bnez    a5,ffffffff8031a438 <__schedule+0x232>
	...

After the patch:
If FPU isn't supported:
	...
	00000013		nop
	...

If FPU is supported:
	...
	0540006f                j       ffffffff8031a418 <__schedule+0x21a>
	...
