[PATCH v2 8/8] riscv: remove limit on the size of read-only section for XIP kernel

XIP_OFFSET is the hard-coded offset of writable data section within the
kernel.
By hard-coding this value, the read-only section of the kernel (which is
placed before the writable data section) is restricted in size. This causes
build failures if the kernel gets too big [1].
Remove this limit.
