riscv: errata: thead: use riscv_nonstd_cache_ops for CMO

Previously, we use alternative mechanism to dynamically patch
the CMO operations for THEAD C906/C910 during boot for performance
reason. But as pointed out by Arnd, "there is already a significant
cost in accessing the invalidated cache lines afterwards, which is
likely going to be much higher than the cost of an indirect branch".
And indeed, there's no performance difference with GMAC and EMMC per
my test on Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A board.

Use riscv_nonstd_cache_ops for THEAD C906/C910 CMO to simplify
the alternative code, and to acchieve Arnd's goal -- "I think
moving the THEAD ops at the same level as all nonstandard operations
makes sense, but I'd still leave CMO as an explicit fast path that
avoids the indirect branch. This seems like the right thing to do both
for readability and for platforms on which the indirect branch has a
noticeable overhead."
