Currently, riscv has several features which may not be supported on all
riscv platforms, for example, FPU, SV48, SV57 and so on. To support
unified kernel Image style, we need to check whether the feature is
suportted or not. If the check sits at hot code path, then performance
will be impacted a lot. static key can be used to solve the issue. In
the past, FPU support has been converted to use static key mechanism.
I believe we will have similar cases in the future. For example, the
SV48 support can take advantage of static key[1].
patch1 is a simple W=1 warning fix.
patch2 introduces an unified mechanism to use static key for riscv cpu
features.
patch3 converts has_cpu() to use the mechanism.
patch4 uses the mechanism to optimize pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled.

Since v1:
- Add a W=1 warning fix
- Fix W=1 error
- Based on v5.18-rcN, since SV57 support is added, so convert
pgtable_l5_enabled as well.

riscv: mm: init: make pt_ops_set_[early|late|fixmap] static
riscv: introduce unified static key mechanism for CPU features
riscv: replace has_fpu() with system_supports_fpu()
riscv: convert pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled to static key
