Introduce the first flag for the hwprobe syscall. The flag basically
reverses its behavior, i.e. instead of populating the values of keys
for a given set of cpus, the set of cpus after the call is the result
of finding a set which supports the values of the keys. In order to
do this, we implement a pair compare function which takes the type of
value (a single value vs. a bitmask of booleans) into consideration.
We also implement vdso support for the new flag.

A hwprobe pair key is signed, but the hwprobe vDSO function was
only checking that the upper bound was valid. In order to help
avoid this type of problem in the future, and in anticipation of
this check becoming more complicated with sparse keys, introduce
and use a "key is valid" predicate function for the check.

Expose Zicboz through hwprobe and also provide a key to extract its
respective block size. Opportunistically add a macro and apply it to
current extensions in order to avoid duplicating code.

This allows userspace to select various routines to use based on the
performance of misaligned access on the target hardware.
Rather than adding DT bindings, this change taps into the alternatives
mechanism used to probe CPU errata. Add a new function pointer alongside
the vendor-specific errata_patch_func() that probes for desirable errata
(otherwise known as "features"). Unlike the errata_patch_func(), this
function is called on each CPU as it comes up, so it can save
feature information per-CPU.
The T-head C906 has fast unaligned access, both as defined by GCC [1],
and in performing a basic benchmark, which determined that byte copies
are >50% slower than a misaligned word copy of the same data size (source
for this test at [2]):
bytecopy size f000 count 50000 offset 0 took 31664899 us
wordcopy size f000 count 50000 offset 0 took 5180919 us
wordcopy size f000 count 50000 offset 1 took 13416949 us

We have an implicit set of base behaviors that userspace depends on,
which are mostly defined in various ISA specifications.

We don't have enough space for these all in ELF_HWCAP{,2} and there's no
system call that quite does this, so let's just provide an arch-specific
one to probe for hardware capabilities. This currently just provides
m{arch,imp,vendor}id, but with the key-value pairs we can pass more in
the future.
