[PATCH v2 0/5] riscv: Use __riscv_has_extension_{likely,unlikely}

[Vivian Wang]

There are about a dozen uses of asm goto in arch/riscv just to select
between two code paths with the alternative mechanism. Convert them to
the existing helpers __riscv_has_extension_{likely,unlikely}.

In each case, I have preserved the existing code's choice of asm goto
pattern while picking between "likely" and "unlikely", namely:

  ALTERNATIVE("j %l[no]", "nop", ...)   -> "likely"
  ALTERNATIVE("nop", "j %l[yes]", ...)  -> "unlikely"

Since the helpers are just implementations of these patterns, the
performance should be the same as before.

These patches are also available at:

Changes in v2:
- Cc'd authors who initially introduced the asm goto blocks
- Use existing __riscv_has_extension_{likely,unlikely} instead
- Remove bogus comment for Zbb being likely (checksum)
- Restructured patch to minimize diff (bitops, hweight, cmpxchg)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250820-riscv-altn-helper-wip-v1-0-c3c626c1f7e6@iscas.ac.cn
