riscv: configure.ac bug fix for misaligned access when __riscv_misaligned_slow

memcmp is generating data alignment errors on risc-v targets where the
hw does not allow unaligned access. This behavior was observed on
microchip polarfire with rtems. Here is the code generated:

000000008000bb34 <memcmp>:
    8000bb34:   469d                    li      a3,7
    8000bb36:   00c6fb63                bgeu    a3,a2,8000bb4c <memcmp+0x18>
    8000bb3a:   6118                    ld      a4,0(a0)
    8000bb3c:   619c                    ld      a5,0(a1)

You can see that 8000bb3a will cause a fault if a0 is not aligned and
hw does not support it.

riscv-rtems7-gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep aligned
#define __riscv_misaligned_slow 1

Attached fix corrects this. Generated code is now:
00000008000baf6 <memcmp>:
    8000baf6:   469d                    li      a3,7
    8000baf8:   04c6f063                bgeu    a3,a2,8000bb38 <memcmp+0x42>
    8000bafc:   00a5e7b3                or      a5,a1,a0
    8000bb00:   8b9d                    andi    a5,a5,7
    8000bb02:   c395                    beqz    a5,8000bb26 <memcmp+0x30>
    8000bb04:   167d                    addi    a2,a2,-1
    8000bb06:   0605                    addi    a2,a2,1
    8000bb08:   962a                    add     a2,a2,a0
    8000bb0a:   a019                    j       8000bb10 <memcmp+0x1a>

Now we have the check at 8000bb02 that will handle alignment and
falls-thru to byte-by-byte copy, or jumps to aligned long copies.

Subject: [PATCH] riscv: avoid misaligned accesses if __riscv_misaligned_slow

The configure rule for misaligned accesses is too wide by including
__riscv_misaligned_fast or __riscv_misaligned_slow for enabling the
HW supported misaligned access.
