[patch 06/18] riscv/syscall: Use syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack()

syscall_enter_from_user_mode_randomize_stack() replaces
syscall_enter_from_user_mode() and the subsequent invocation of
add_random_kstack_offset().

The advantage is that it applies the stack randomization right after
enter_from_user_mode() and thereby avoids the overhead of get/put_cpu_var()
as that code is invoked with interrupts disabled.

No functional change.
