[PATCH v2 0/2] riscv: Add remaining module relocations and tests

A handful of module relocations were missing, this patch includes the
remaining ones. I also wrote some test cases to ensure that module
loading works properly. Some relocations cannot be supported in the
kernel, these include the ones that rely on thread local storage and
dynamic linking.
ULEB128 handling is a bit special because SET and SUB relocations must
happen together, and SET must happen before SUB. The module linking
ignores a SET unless it is followed by a SUB. In order to find the
corresponding SET, module linking starts at the relocation above the SUB
and iterates up until it hits the SET. If a SET is not found, module
linking fails.
This can be tested by enabling KUNIT, RUNTIME_KERNEL_TESTING_MENU, and
RISCV_MODULE_LINKING_KUNIT.
