The pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled check sits at hot code path, performance
is impacted a lot. Since pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled isn't changed after
boot, so static key can be used to solve the performance issue[1].
An unified way static key was introduced in [2], but it only targets
riscv isa extension. We dunno whether SV48 and SV57 will be considered
as isa extension, so the unified solution isn't used for
pgtable_l4[l5]_enabled now.
patch1 fixes a NULL pointer deference if static key is used a bit earlier.
patch2 uses the static key to optimize pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled.

Since v5:
- Use DECLARE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE
Since v4:
- rebased on v5.19-rcN
- collect Reviewed-by tags
- Fix kernel panic issue if SPARSEMEM is enabled by moving the
riscv_finalise_pgtable_lx() after sparse_init()
Since v3:
- fix W=1 call to undeclared function 'static_branch_likely' error
Since v2:
- move the W=1 warning fix to a separate patch
- move the unified way to use static key to a new patch series.
Since v1:
- Add a W=1 warning fix
- Fix W=1 error
- Based on v5.18-rcN, since SV57 support is added, so convert
pgtable_l5_enabled as well.

riscv: move sbi_init() earlier before jump_label_init()
riscv: turn pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled to static key for RV64
