[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.12 021/486] riscv: Allow NOMMU kernels to access all of RAM

[ Upstream commit 2c0391b29b27f315c1b4c29ffde66f50b29fab99 ]

NOMMU kernels currently cannot access memory below the kernel link
address. Remove this restriction by setting PAGE_OFFSET to the actual
start of RAM, as determined from the devicetree. The kernel link address
must be a constant, so keep using CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET for that purpose.
