When trying to load modules built for riscv which include assembly
the kernel loader errors with "unexpected relocation type 'R_RISCV_ALIGN'"
due to R_RISCV_ALIGN relocations being generated by the assembler.

In commit 7a8e7da42250138 ("RISC-V: Fixes to module loading") the
CFLAGS have -mno-relax added. This however does not get applied to
KBUILD_AFLAGS_MODULE so when a module builds a .S file, the -mno-relax
is not passed and the above error is seen. Fix it by adding the flags
'-Wa,-mno-relax' to KBUILD_AFLAGS_MODULE.

This may have been fixed in gcc, in:
