[PATCH v4 1/5] riscv: pgtable: Use riscv_has_extension_unlikely

Use riscv_has_extension_unlikely() to check for RISCV_ISA_EXT_SVVPTC,
replacing the use of asm goto with ALTERNATIVE.

The "unlikely" variant is used to match the behavior of the original
implementation using ALTERNATIVE("nop", "j %l[svvptc]", ...).

Note that this makes the check for RISCV_ISA_EXT_SVVPTC a runtime one if
RISCV_ALTERNATIVE=n, but it should still be worthwhile to do so given
that TLB flushes are relatively slow.
