urrent kvm_riscv_gstage_mode_detect() assumes H-extension must
have HGATP_MODE_SV39X4/SV32X4 at least, but the spec allows
H-extension with HGATP_MODE_BARE alone. The KVM depends on
!HGATP_MODE_BARE at least, so enhance the gstage-mode-detect
to block HGATP_MODE_BARE.
Move gstage-mode-check closer to gstage-mode-detect to prevent
unnecessary init.

Moving the kvm_info() over here now prints G-stage mode
before announcing availablity of h-extension which looks odd.
It's better to keep kvm_info() in the same location and only
move the switch-case.

Otherwise, this looks good to me.
I will take care of minor comments mentioned above at the

Yes, it's another legacy problem, which lacks:
kvm_riscv_aia_exit();
kvm_riscv_nacl_exit();
After we move it up, it still needs:
kvm_riscv_nacl_exit();
I'm okay with it being fixed in this patch.
