[PATCH] RISC-V: Add STACKLEAK erasing the kernel stack at the end of syscalls

This adds support for the STACKLEAK gcc plugin to RISC-V and disables
the plugin in EFI stub code, which is out of scope for the protection.

For the benefits of STACKLEAK feature, please check the commit
afaef01c0015 ("x86/entry: Add STACKLEAK erasing the kernel stack at the end of syscalls")

Performance impact (tested on qemu env with 1 riscv64 hart, 1GB mem)
    hackbench -s 512 -l 200 -g 15 -f 25 -P
    2.0% slowdown
