riscv: hwprobe: Fix stale vDSO data for late-initialized keys at boot
The hwprobe vDSO data for some keys, like MISALIGNED_VECTOR_PERF,
is determined by an asynchronous kthread. This can create a race
condition where the kthread finishes after the vDSO data has
already been populated, causing userspace to read stale values.
To fix this race, a new 'ready' flag is added to the vDSO data,
initialized to 'false' during arch_initcall_sync. This flag is
checked by both the vDSO's user-space code and the riscv_hwprobe
syscall. The syscall serves as a one-time gate, using a completion
to wait for any pending probes before populating the data and
setting the flag to 'true', thus ensuring userspace reads fresh
values on its first request.
