[PATCH 1/2] riscv: kexec: Cleanup riscv_kexec_relocate

For readability and simplicity, cleanup the riscv_kexec_relocate code:

- Re-sort the first 4 `mv` instructions against `riscv_kexec_method()`
- Eliminate registers for debugging (s9,s10,s11) and storing const-value (s5,s6)
- Replace `jalr` with `jr` for no-link jump

I tested this on Qemu virt machine and works as it was.
