riscv: hwcap: change ELF_HWCAP to a function

Using a function is flexible to represent ELF_HWCAP. So the kernel may
encode hwcap reflecting supported hardware features just at the moment of
the start of each program.

This will be helpful when we introduce prctl/sysctl interface to control
per-process availability of Vector extension in following patches.
Programs started with V disabled should see V masked off in theirs
ELF_HWCAP.
