Subject: [PATCH v1 2/9] RISC-V: drop a needless check in print_isa_ext()

isa_ext_arr cannot be empty, as some of the extensions within it are
always built into the kernel.

This is only true since commit 07edc32779e3 ("RISC-V: always report
presence of extensions formerly part of the base ISA"), right? If
so, it might be nice to call that commit out in this commit message.

Per my last mail, where I commented on the origins of some of this code,
there were no multi-letter extensions when this code was first added.
When the first multi-letter ones did get added, it was Sscofpmf - that
doesn't have a Kconfig symbol to disable it, so I think this has been
redundant for a long time.

Apart from the ones I recently added, there's a fair few others that
are not gated & should always be present.
It's probably not clear from the comment, but this check is for whether
the kernel supports extensions, not whether the system it is running on
does. I guess I should expand on that in my commit message.

Thanks,
Conor.

That part I understood, but I was thinking it'd be nice to call out when
the first extension was added which cannot be disabled by a config to
provide extra evidence that it's safe to remove the check.
