The function would fail when it detects the calling hart's vlen doesn't
match the first one's. The boot hart is the first hart calling this
function during riscv_fill_hwcap, so it is impossible to fail here. Add
a comment about this behavior.

I am loathe to comment on this again, so 
Reviewed-by: Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com>
but you could just write this as "This cannot fail when called on the
boot hart."

Cheers,
Conor.
