[PATCH v2] riscv: add icache flush for nommu sigreturn trampoline

In a NOMMU kernel, sigreturn trampolines are generated on the user
stack by setup_rt_frame. Currently, these trampolines are not instruction
fenced, thus their visibility to ifetch is not guaranteed.

This patch adds a flush_icache_range in setup_rt_frame to fix this
problem.
