[v9,5/6] riscv: Check relocations at compile time

From: Alexandre Ghiti <[e-mail]>

Relocating kernel at runtime is done very early in the boot process, so
it is not convenient to check for relocations there and react in case a
relocation was not expected.

There exists a script in scripts/ that extracts the relocations from
vmlinux that is then used at postlink to check the relocations.
