Subject: [PATCH v6 0/2] use static key to optimize pgtable_l4_enabled

The pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled check sits at hot code path, performance
is impacted a lot. Since pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled isn't changed after
boot, so static key can be used to solve the performance issue[1].

An unified way static key was introduced in [2], but it only targets
riscv isa extension. We dunno whether SV48 and SV57 will be considered
as isa extension, so the unified solution isn't used for
pgtable_l4[l5]_enabled now.

patch1 fixes a NULL pointer deference if static key is used a bit earlier.
patch2 uses the static key to optimize pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled.

Since v5:
 - Use DECLARE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE

Since v4:
 - rebased on v5.19-rcN
 - collect Reviewed-by tags
 - Fix kernel panic issue if SPARSEMEM is enabled by moving the
   riscv_finalise_pgtable_lx() after sparse_init()

Since v3:
 - fix W=1 call to undeclared function 'static_branch_likely' error

Since v2:
 - move the W=1 warning fix to a separate patch
 - move the unified way to use static key to a new patch series.

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.

Jisheng Zhang (2):
  riscv: move sbi_init() earlier before jump_label_init()
  riscv: turn pgtable_l4|[l5]_enabled to static key for RV64
