  riscv: Fix auipc+jalr relocation range checks (2022-03-10 20:37:44 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
RISC-V Fixes for 5.17-rc8

* A fix to prevent users from enabling the alternatives framework (and
  thus errata handling) on XIP kernels, where runtime code patching does
  not function correctly.
* A fix to properly detect offset overflow for AUIPC-based relocations
  in modules.  This may manifest as modules calling arbitrary invalid
  addresses, depending on the address allocated when a module is loaded.

----------------------------------------------------------------
I know it's pretty late, so no big deal if these don't make it for 5.17.

The module issue is particularly ugly: itcould manifest for the majority of
users, and depends on a bunch of long-term runtime behavior so won't get caught
by simple tests.  The bug has been around forever, though, and it'll likely get
backported either way -- figured there's no reason to wait, though.
