[PATCH v1 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.

The addition of orig_a0 also requires the following adjustments:
1) Adjust the position of orig_a0 in pt_regs to ensure correct copying.
2) MAX_REG_OFFSET should match the new bottom of pt_regs.
