[PATCH] RISC-V: Fix register class subset checks for CLASS_MAX_NREGS

Fix the register class subset checks in the determination of the maximum 
number of consecutive registers needed to hold a value of a given mode.  

The number depends on whether a register is a general-purpose or a 
floating-point register, so check whether the register class requested 
is a subset (argument 1 to `reg_class_subset_p') rather than superset 
(argument 2) of GR_REGS or FP_REGS class respectively.

	gcc/
	* config/riscv/riscv.c (riscv_class_max_nregs): Swap the 
	arguments to `reg_class_subset_p'.

Hi,

 This looks like a thinko to me, but please double-check I have not become 
confused myself.

 My understanding is that current code works, because the SIBCALL_REGS and 
JALR_REGS classes are only ever used for addresses, which won't ever span 
multiple registers, and then the only class other than ALL_REGS that 
inludes floating-point registers is FP_REGS.  Therefore the hook will only 
ever see either GR_REGS or FP_REGS as the class enquired about and 
consequently the result of the `reg_class_subset_p' calls will be the same 
regardless of the order of the arguments chosen.  We should be getting the 
semantics right regardless.

 Regression-tested with the `riscv64-linux-gnu' target.  OK to apply?

  Maciej
