Subject: [PATCH] risc-v: Fix order of IPI enablement vs RCU startup

Conor reports that risc-v tries to enable IPIs before telling the
core code to enable RCU. With the introduction of the mapple tree
as a backing store for the irq descriptors, this results in
a very shouty boot sequence, as RCU is legitimately upset.

Restore some sanity by moving the risc_ipi_enable() call after
notify_cpu_starting(), which explicitly enables RCU on the calling
CPU.

Fixes: 832f15f42646 ("RISC-V: Treat IPIs as normal Linux IRQs")
