[PATCH] riscv: relocate R_RISCV_CALL_PLT in kexec_file

Depending on the toolchain (here: gcc-12, binutils-2.40) the
relocation entries for function calls are no longer R_RISCV_CALL, but
R_RISCV_CALL_PLT. When trying kexec_load_file on such kernels, it will
fail with

 kexec_image: Unknown rela relocation: 19
 kexec_image: Error loading purgatory ret=-8

The binary code at the call site remains the same, so tell
arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add() to handle _PLT alike.

fixes: 838b3e28488f702 ("Load purgatory in kexec_file")
