Similar as other architectures such as arm64, x86 and so on, use
offsets relative to the exception table entry values rather than
absolute addresses for both the exception locationand the fixup.
And recently, arm64 and x86 remove anonymous out-of-line fixups, we
want to acchieve the same result.
patch1 remove unused macro.
patch2 consolidates the __ex_table construction, it's a great code
clean up even w/o the 2nd patch.
patch3 swith to relative extable.
The remaining patches are inspired by arm64 version. They remove
the anonymous out-of-line fixups for risv.
Since v3:
- collect Reviewed-by tag for patch2 and patch3
- add patch1 to remove unused macro
- add patches to remove anonymous out-of-line fixups
Since v2:
- directly check R_RISCV_SUB32 in __ex_table instead of adding
addend_riscv_rela()
Since v1:
- fix build error for NOMMU case, thank lkp at intel.com
