[PATCH] lib: sbi_pmu: Add FW counter index validation when reading high bits on RV64

Currently, when we attempt to read the upper 32 bits of a firmware
counter on RV64 or higher, we just set `sbiret.value` to 0 without
validating the counter index. The SBI specification requires us to set
`sbiret.error` to `SBI_ERR_INVALID_PARAM` if the counter index points to
a hardware counter or an invalid counter. Add a validation check to
ensure compliance with the specification on RV64 or higher.
