[PATCH] riscv: sbi: fix errno mapping for SBI_ERR_ALREADY_* error codes

SBI error codes SBI_ERR_ALREADY_AVAILABLE (-6), SBI_ERR_ALREADY_STARTED
(-7), and SBI_ERR_ALREADY_STOPPED (-8) have no explicit case in
sbi_err_map_linux_errno() and fall through to the default branch,
returning -ENOTSUPP (-524).

Map these three codes to -EALREADY, which correctly reflects their
semantics: the requested operation was not performed because the target
is already in the desired state.

Also add a documentation comment enumerating all SBI error codes and
their Linux errno mappings, making the translation table self-documenting
and making any future omissions immediately visible.
