[PATCH 1/5] riscv: errata: Fix bitwise vs logical AND in MIPS errata patching

The condition checking whether a specific errata needs patching uses
logical AND (&&) instead of bitwise AND (&). Since logical AND only
checks that both operands are non-zero, this causes all errata patches
to be applied whenever any single errata is detected, rather than only
applying the matching one.

The SiFive errata implementation correctly uses bitwise AND for the same
check.
