[PATCH v2] riscv: acpi: Handle LPI architectural context loss flags

Commit 4785aa802853 ("cpuidle, ACPI: Evaluate LPI arch_flags for
broadcast timer") replaced the generic nonzero check for LPI
architectural context loss flags with arch_get_idle_state_flags().
RISC-V does not implement the helper, so it falls back to the stub
that returns 0. Consequently, CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP is not set when
an LPI state loses the hart timer context, preventing cpuidle from
using a broadcast timer for that state.

Implement the RISC-V helper and map the hart timer context loss flag
to CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP.
