Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] RISC-V: hwprobe: Add MISALIGNED_PERF key
RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_CPUPERF_0 was mistakenly flagged as a bitmask in
hwprobe_key_is_bitmask(), when in reality it was an enum value. This
causes problems when used in conjunction with RISCV_HWPROBE_WHICH_CPUS,
since SLOW, FAST, and EMULATED have values whose bits overlap with
each other. If the caller asked for the set of CPUs that was SLOW or
EMULATED, the returned set would also include CPUs that were FAST.
Introduce a new hwprobe key, RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MISALIGNED_PERF, which
returns the same values in response to a direct query (with no flags),
but is properly handled as an enumerated value. As a result, SLOW,
FAST, and EMULATED are all correctly treated as distinct values under
the new key when queried with the WHICH_CPUS flag.
Leave the old key in place to avoid disturbing applications which may
have already come to rely on the key, with or without its broken
behavior with respect to the WHICH_CPUS flag.
Fixes: e178bf146e4b ("RISC-V: hwprobe: Introduce which-cpus flag")

Changes in v2:
- Clarified the distinction of slow and fast refers to misaligned word
accesses. Previously it just said misaligned accesses, leaving it
ambiguous as to which type of access was measured.
- Removed shifts in values (Andrew)
- Renamed key to RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MISALIGNED_SCALAR_PERF (Palmer)
