RFR: 8367137: RISC-V: Detect Zicboz block size via hwprobe

Hi,
Can you help to review this patch? Thanks!

We can extends RISC-V hwprobe support to include `RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_ZICBOZ_BLOCK_SIZE`.
The probed value is recorded in VM_Version::zicboz_block_size and then used to set the global CacheLineSize.
This ensures correct usage of the Zicboz extension, as block zeroing instructions operate on cache-line granularity.

FYI: https://docs.kernel.org/arch/riscv/hwprobe.html
