[RFC PATCH] riscv: cpu: check U-Mode before counteren write

From: Nikita Shubin <n.shubin at yadro.com>

The Priv ISA states:
"In systems without U-mode, the mcounteren register should
not exist."

Check U-Mode is present in MISA before writing to counteren, otherwise
we endup with Illegal Instruction exception on systems without U-Mode.

Also make checking MISA default for M-Mode.

This seems obvious at first glance, but i've never seen 'u' extension 
enywhere in "riscv,isa" device tree property, even qemu doesn't set this, 
and if we simply enable this check - this will break existing board for sure.

We can rely on MISA completely if we are in M-Mode, as we currently check only
'd', 'f' and 'u', which are standart and nothing fancy.
