Subject: [PATCH] riscv: hwprobe: export highest virtual userspace address

Some userspace applications (OpenJDK for instance) uses the free MSBs
in pointers to insert additional information for their own logic and
need to get this information from somewhere. Currently they rely on
parsing /proc/cpuinfo "mmu=svxx" string to obtain the current value of
virtual address usable bits [1]. Since this reflect the raw supported
MMU mode, it might differ from the logical one used internally which is
why arch_get_mmap_end() is used. Exporting the highest mmapable address
through hwprobe will allow a more stable interface to be used. For that
purpose, add a new hwprobe key named
RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_HIGHEST_VIRT_ADDRESS which will export the highest
userspace virtual address.

v3:
 - Note: I did not added Stefan Reviewed-by since I did more
   modifications than just a simple respin.
 - Handle CONFIG_MMU=n as well and rename the key to
   RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_HIGHEST_VIRT_ADDRESS
 - Add a user_max_virt_addr() macro to handle !MMU config
 - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240220110950.871307-1-cleger@rivosinc.com/

v2:
 - Note: tried sysconf to export it but this is not backed by syscall
   and thus does not allow exporting such information easily.
 - Use arch_get_mmap_end() instead of VA_BITS since it reflects the
   maximum logical address used by the riscv port
 - Change hwprobe key name from RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_VA_BITS to
   RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MAX_ADDRESS
 - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240201140319.360088-1-cleger@rivosinc.com/
