[PATCH 1/2] riscv: track effective hardware PTE A/D updates

Separate Svadu capability discovery from the host's effective ADUE
state. Enable SBI FWFT PTE A/D hardware updating on each online CPU
through CPUHP when both Svade and Svadu are present, use the resulting
runtime state for arch_has_hw_pte_young(), and fall back to
software-managed A/D updates when enabling the feature fails.
Platforms with Svadu but without Svade are treated as always using
hardware PTE A/D updates. Expose the runtime state through an inline
getter so hot MM paths avoid an out-of-line function call.
