riscv, bpf: Add BPF exception tables



When a tracing BPF program attempts to read memory without using the
bpf_probe_read() helper, the verifier marks the load instruction with
the BPF_PROBE_MEM flag. Since the riscv JIT does not currently recognize
this flag it falls back to the interpreter.

Add support for BPF_PROBE_MEM, by appending an exception table to the
BPF program. If the load instruction causes a data abort, the fixup
infrastructure finds the exception table and fixes up the fault, by
clearing the destination register and jumping over the faulting
instruction.

A more generic solution would add a "handler" field to the table entry,
like on x86 and s390. The same issue in ARM64 is fixed in 80083428
("bpf, arm64: Add BPF exception tables").
