[PATCH v3 2/3] riscv: Optimize gcd() code size when CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB is disabled

The binary GCD implementation depends on efficient ffs(), which on
RISC-V requires hardware support for the Zbb extension. When
CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB is not enabled, the kernel will never use binary
GCD, as runtime logic will always fall back to the odd-even
implementation.
To avoid compiling unused code and reduce code size, select
CONFIG_CPU_NO_EFFICIENT_FFS when CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_ZBB is not set.
$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ./lib/math/gcd.o.old ./lib/math/gcd.o.new
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-274 (-274)
Function old new delta
gcd 360 86 -274
Total: Before=384, After=110, chg -71.35%
