The callback used inside sbi_remote_fence_i is set at sbi probe time
to the needed variant. Before that it is a NULL pointer.

Some users like the flush_icache_*() functions suggest a generic
functionality, that doesn't depend on a specific boot-stage but
uses sbi_remote_fence_i as one option to flush other cpu cores.

So they definitly shouldn't run into null-pointer dereference
issues when called "too early" during boot.

So introduce an empty function to be the standard for the __sbi_rfence
function pointer until sbi_init has run.

Users of sbi_remote_fence_i will have separate code for the local
cpu and sbi_init() is called before other cpus are brought up.
So there are no other cpus present at the time when the issue
might happen.
