[PATCH master 3/3] RISC-V: add compiler barriers around unrelocated accesses

We observed on ARM miscompilation because get_runtime_offset() was
cached before relocation, while address computation of symbol happened
after, effectively adding the base address twice to the symbol offset.

New get_unrelocated() hides origin of the symbol going into the address
calculation and thereby thwarts this optimization. Employ it in RISC-V
code as well to avoid such issues as experienced on ARM.
