[PATCH] riscv: ptrace: reject CFI regset access when extensions are absent

riscv_cfi_get() and riscv_cfi_set() do not check whether the Zicfilp
or Zicfiss extensions are present. On systems without them,
PTRACE_GETREGSET on REGSET_CFI still succeeds and returns a zeroed
user_cfi_state, misleading debuggers into believing the register set
is available, and PTRACE_SETREGSET silently accepts writes that have
no effect (e.g. clearing SR_ELP).

Reject the access with -EINVAL when neither branch landing pads nor
shadow stack is available to userspace, using the same availability
helpers as the prctl path.

Fixes: 2af7c9cf021c ("riscv/ptrace: expose riscv CFI status and state via ptrace and in core files")

This follows the behaviour of the arm64 GCS regset. Unlike vector
registers, no ENODATA case applies here: the CFI status regset has a
valid all-zero representation even when CFI has not been enabled for
the traced task.

is_user_lpad_enabled()/is_user_shstk_enabled() are used instead of a
plain ISA check so that the regset visibility matches what userspace
can actually use via prctl: both helpers also honor the
riscv_nousercfi kernel command line switch.
