[RFC PATCH 1/2] riscv: Expose orig_a0 in the user_regs_struct structure

From: Quan Zhou <zhouquan at iscas.ac.cn>

Expose orig_a0 to userspace to ensure that users can modify
the actual value of `a0` in the traced process through the
ptrace(PTRACE_SETREGSET, ...) path. Since user_regs_struct is
a subset of pt_regs, we also need to adjust the position of
the orig_a0 field in pt_regs to achieve the correct copy.
