[RFC PATCH 4/5] RISC-V: Implement prctl call to set/get the memory consistency model

From: Christoph Müllner <christoph.muellner at vrull.eu>

We can use the PR_{S,G}ET_MEMORY_CONSISTENCY_MODEL prctl calls to change
the memory consistency model at run-time if we have Ssdtso.
This patch registers RISCV_WMO and RISCV_TSO as valid arguments
for these prctl calls and implements the glue code to switch
between these.

+Supported memory consistency models
+===================================
+
+This section defines the memory consistency models which are supported
+by the prctl interface.
+
+RISC-V
+------
+
+RISC-V uses RVWMO (RISC-V weak memory ordering) as default memory consistency
+model. TSO (total store ordering) is another specified model and provides
+additional ordering guarantees. Switching from RVWMO to TSO (and back) is
+possible when the Ssdtso extension is available.
+
+* :c:macro:`PR_MEMORY_CONSISTENCY_MODEL_RISCV_WMO`: RISC-V weak memory ordering (default).
+
+* :c:macro:`PR_MEMORY_CONSISTENCY_MODEL_RISCV_TSO`: RISC-V total store ordering.
