[PATCH] KVM: riscv: Implement kvm_arch_pre_fault_allowed()

Commit caa63620f9e3 ("KVM: Allow architectures to disallow pre-fault")
requires every architecture that selects KVM_GENERIC_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY to
implement kvm_arch_pre_fault_allowed(), and there is no generic default.
Commit e8b32e377951 ("KVM: riscv: Implement KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY") was
written before that hook existed, so it selects the option without
implementing the hook. With both commits in the same tree, riscv builds
with KVM enabled fail to link:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: kvm_arch_pre_fault_allowed
>>> referenced by kvm_main.c
>>> virt/kvm/kvm_main.o:(kvm_vcpu_pre_fault_memory) in archive vmlinux.a
The riscv implementation does not refuse pre-faulting in any state, so
return 0 to keep its current behaviour.
Fixes: e8b32e377951 ("KVM: riscv: Implement KVM_PRE_FAULT_MEMORY")

Paolo, this is needed when kvm-riscv-7.4-1 is merged into kvm/next.
Feel free to squash it into the merge instead.
Mark, next-20261022 already fails to link, so linux-next needs this on
top of the kvm-riscv merge.
Build-tested with a riscv tinyconfig plus KVM=y on next-20261022 and on
kvm/next with kvm-riscv-7.4-1 merged. Not runtime tested.
