riscv: optimize gcd() performance on RISC-V without Zbb extension

The binary GCD implementation uses FFS (find first set), which benefits
from hardware support for the ctz instruction, provided by the Zbb
extension on RISC-V.  Without Zbb, this results in slower
software-emulated behavior.

Previously, RISC-V always used the binary GCD, regardless of actual
hardware support.  This patch improves runtime efficiency by disabling the
efficient_ffs_key static branch when Zbb is either not enabled in the
kernel (config) or not supported on the executing CPU.  This selects the
odd-even GCD implementation, which is faster in the absence of efficient
FFS.

This change ensures the most suitable GCD algorithm is chosen dynamically
based on actual hardware capabilities.
