RISC-V: KVM: Support sstc extension
Sstc extension allows the guest to program the vstimecmp CSR directly
instead of making an SBI call to the hypervisor to program the next
event. The timer interrupt is also directly injected to the guest by
the hardware in this case. To maintain backward compatibility, the
hypervisors also update the vstimecmp in an SBI set_time call if
the hardware supports it. Thus, the older kernels in guest also
take advantage of the sstc extension.
