[PATCH] implement flush_cache_vmap and flush_cache_vunmap for RISC-V

This patch implements flush_cache_vmap and flush_cache_vunmap for
RISC-V, since these functions might modify PTE. Without this patch,
SFENCE.VMA won't be added to related codes, which might introduce a bug
in some out-of-order micro-architecture implementations.
