After commit 44aa25c000b4 ("riscv: asm: use .insn for making custom
instructions"), builds using LLVM older that 19 or binutils older than
2.38 fail with:

binutils gained support for '.insn <value>' in 2.38 [1] and LLVM gained
support in 19 [2]. Adjust the test for CONFIG_AS_HAS_INSN to ensure that
all versions of .insn are supported before being used.
