[v4,06/18] riscv: misaligned: use on_each_cpu() for scalar misaligned access probing

Commit Message

schedule_on_each_cpu() was used without any good reason while documented
as very slow. This call was in the boot path, so better use
on_each_cpu() for scalar misaligned checking. Vector misaligned check
still needs to use schedule_on_each_cpu() since it requires irqs to be
enabled but that's less of a problem since this code is ran in a kthread.
Add a comment to explicit that.
