riscv: perf: Fix callchain parse error with kernel tracepoint events



For RISC-V, when tracing with tracepoint events, the IP and status are
set to 0, preventing the perf code parsing the callchain and resolving
the symbols correctly.

 ./ply 'tracepoint:kmem/kmem_cache_alloc { @[stack]=count(); }'
 @:
 { <STACKID4294967282> }: 1

The fix is to implement perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs for riscv, which
fills several necessary registers used for callchain unwinding,
including epc, sp, s0 and status. It's similar to commit b3eac026
("arm: perf: Fix callchain parse error with kernel tracepoint events")
and commit 5b09a094 ("arm64: perf: Fix callchain parse error with
kernel tracepoint events").

With this patch, callchain can be parsed correctly as:

 ./ply 'tracepoint:kmem/kmem_cache_alloc { @[stack]=count(); }'
 @:
