[v4,0/2] RISC-V: add support for restartable sequence

Message

Add RSEQ, restartable sequence, support and related selftest to RISCV.
  
The relevant RSEQ tests in kselftest require the binutils patch "RISC-V:
Fix linker problems with TLS copy relocs" to avoid placing
PREINIT_ARRAY and TLS variable of librseq.so at the same address.
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=3e7bd7f24146f162565edf878840449f36a8d974
A segmental fault will happen if binutils misses this patch.

Changes since v3:
1. Modify the endianness checking.
2. Fix a bug encountered in 32bit environment.

Changes since v2:
1. Move rseq_signal_deliver() after syscall restart handling.
2. Add rseq_offset_deref_addv() to support memory barrier tests.

  RISC-V: Add support for restartable sequence
  rseq/selftests: Add support for RISC-V

Thanks, this is on for-next.
