[PATCH V2 01/21] riscv: move sbi_init() earlier before jump_label_init()

From: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang at kernel.org>

We call jump_label_init() in setup_arch() is to use static key
mechanism earlier, but riscv jump label relies on the sbi functions,
If we enable static key before sbi_init(), the code path looks like:
  static_branch_enable()
    ..
      arch_jump_label_transform()
        patch_text_nosync()
          flush_icache_range()
            flush_icache_all()
              sbi_remote_fence_i() for CONFIG_RISCV_SBI case
                __sbi_rfence()

Since sbi isn't initialized, so NULL deference! Here is a typical
panic log:

Fix this issue by moving sbi_init() earlier before jump_label_init()
