PATCH 1/1 riscv: don't probe unaligned access speed if already done

If misaligned_access_speed percpu var isn't so called "HWPROBE MISALIGNED UNKNOWN", it means the probe has happened(this is possible for example, hotplug off then hotplug on one cpu), and the percpu var has been set, don't probe again in this case.

Presumably this should grow a

Patch seems fine to me,

Thanks,
