[PATCH v3 2/3] RISC-V: mm: not use hint addr as upper bound

This patch reverted the meaning of the addr parameter in the mmap syscall
change from the previous commit b5b4287accd7 ("riscv: mm: Use hint address
in mmap if available") from patch[1] which treats hint addr + size as the
upper bound of the mmap return address. Result in ENOMEM error caused when
hint address + size is not big enough.

Thus, this patch makes the behavior of mmap syscall to align with x86,
arm64, powerpc by only limiting the address space to DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW
which is defined as not larger than 47-bit. If a user program wants to
use sv57 address space, it can use mmap with a hint address larger than
BIT(47) as it is already documented in x86 and arm64.
