[RFC PATCH v2 4/7] riscv/runtime-const: Introduce runtime_const_mask_32()

Futex hash computation requires a mask operation with read-only after
init data that will be converted to a runtime constant in the subsequent
commit.

Introduce runtime_const_mask_32 to further optimize the mask operation
in the futex hash computation hot path. GCC generates a:

  lui   a0, 0x12346       # upper; +0x800 then >>12 for correct rounding
  addi  a0, a0, 0x678     # lower 12 bits
  and   a1, a1, a0        # a1 = a1 & a0

pattern to tackle arbitrary 32-bit masks and the same was also suggested
by Claude which is implemented here. __runtime_fixup_ptr() already
patches a "lui + addi" sequence which has been reused to patch the same
sequence for __runtime_fixup_mask().
