sparc64 have an efficient ffs implementation.
We use run-time patching to use the proper version
depending on the actual sparc cpu.

As this is determinded at config time, then let the
sparc cpu that has the efficient ffs benefit from this.

In other words - select CPU_NO_EFFICIENT_FFS only for SPARC32.
