[PATCH] RISC-V: hwprobe: Add MISALIGNED_PERF key

[Evan Green <evan@rivosinc.com>]

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 broken behavior.

Note: Yangyu also has a fix out for this issue at [1]. That fix is much
tidier, but comes with the slight risk that some very broken userspace
application may break now that FAST cpus are not included for the query
of which cpus are SLOW or EMULATED. I wanted to get this fix out so that
we have both as options, and can discuss. These fixes are mutually
exclusive, don't take both.
