Series [1/2] riscv: prevent null-pointer dereference with sbi_remote_fence_i | expand

The mentioned function pointers get called from different sbi functions
which may get called from other areas of the kernel without fully
checking if the sbi initialization was done.

So similarly to sbi_remote_fence_i, provide empty functions for them
to prevent any null-pointer dereferences in the future.

SBI initialization happens in sbi_init which is called from setup_arch.
setup_smp happens after that. Thus, there won't be an IPI issued
before SMP is set up.

For __sbi_set_timer, the first time it will be called from this path.
time_init->timer_probe->riscv_timer_init_dt

time_init is called from start_kernel after setup_arch. In fact,
setup_arch is called very early
in the start_kernel.

Is there any other scenario where these SBI functions can be invoked
before SBI is initialized ?

This patch is more of a second thought ;-) .

I.e. I ran into the issue fixed in the first patch, and then tought it
might be nice to also not have these other "dangling pointers" around.
But yeah, it's not that probably that these two will get called
accidentially.

So I guess I'll let you decide on these two functions ;-) .
