Subject: [PATCH v5 7/7] RISC-V: Use IPIs for remote icache flush when possible

If we have specialized interrupt controller (such as AIA IMSIC) which
allows supervisor mode to directly inject IPIs without any assistance
from M-mode or HS-mode then using such specialized interrupt controller,
we can do remote icache flushe directly from supervisor mode instead of
using the SBI RFENCE calls.

This patch extends remote icache flush functions to use supervisor mode
IPIs whenever direct supervisor mode IPIs.are supported by interrupt
controller.
