Building on commit c64fc632a86a ("riscv: cpu: Use CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(CPU)
instead of plain ifdef"), add an early return in riscv_cpu_setup() when
CONFIG_CPU is not enabled. This allows platforms to save code space in
SPL by disabling CONFIG_SPL_CPU.

The compiler's dead-code elimination combined with --gc-sections
removes the unreachable code and all associated static data,
achieving significant size reduction without preprocessor guards:

  spl/u-boot-spl:all -4332 spl/u-boot-spl:rodata -2872
  spl/u-boot-spl:text -1460
