[PATCH v6 4/9] rv: Fix ha_invariant_passed_ns silent bypass of invariant check

From: wen . yang

From: Wen Yang <wen.yang@xxxxxxxxx>

When env_store is U64_MAX (its initial sentinel value),
ha_invariant_passed_ns() returns 0 immediately without initializing
env_store to the current clock. Subsequent calls to
ha_check_invariant_ns() then find env_store still at U64_MAX, causing
the elapsed comparison to wrap and always report the invariant as
satisfied, silently masking any violations.

Fix by calling ha_reset_clk_ns() to establish the guard on the first
invocation instead of returning early. Apply the same fix to
ha_invariant_passed_jiffy().

This is a stopgap: once the RV framework reworks the per-env clock
guard, this first-invocation reset should be subsumed.
