[PATCH 1/4] riscv: Add kexec trampoline text section to vmlinux.lds.S

From: Fangyu Yu <fangyu.yu at linux.alibaba.com>

When CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE is enabled, add a dedicated .kexec.tramp.text
area to the RISC-V kernel linker script.

This introduces a KEXEC_TRAMP_TEXT linker snippet in image-vars.h and
uses it from vmlinux.lds.S to:
  - align to PAGE_SIZE
  - define __kexec_tramp_text_start/__kexec_tramp_text_end
  - KEEP all .kexec.tramp.text* input sections
  - ASSERT the trampoline text fits within one page

When kexec is disabled, KEXEC_TRAMP_TEXT expands to nothing.
