[PATCH v2] riscv: hwprobe: fix has_fpu() to require D extension only

The kernel never supports F without D, since D depends on F. As such,
has_fpu() checking either extension with '||' is incorrect: it
reports FPU support when only F is present, which is not sufficient
for D-dependent state save/restore, and weakens
RISCV_HWPROBE_IMA_FD semantics to "F or D" instead of "F and D".

Fix has_fpu() to check D only, which is equivalent to requiring both
extensions given the dependency. Revert the explicit F && D check in
sys_hwprobe.c back to calling has_fpu(), which is now correct.

Changes in v2:
- Original v1 approach (explicit F && D check in sys_hwprobe.c) was a
  no-op since F-without-D is structurally impossible. Per Conor and
  Andreas, fix has_fpu() itself instead, checking D only. Revert the
  sys_hwprobe.c change back to calling has_fpu().
