riscv: create a Kconfig fragment for shadow stack and landing pad support

Browse source

This patch creates a Kconfig fragment for shadow stack support and
landing pad instruction support. Shadow stack support and landing pad
instruction support can be enabled by selecting
'CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI'. Selecting 'CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI' wires up
the path to enumerate CPU support.  If support exists, the kernel will
support CPU-assisted user mode CFI.

If CONFIG_RISCV_USER_CFI is selected, select 'ARCH_USES_HIGH_VMA_FLAGS',
'ARCH_HAS_USER_SHADOW_STACK' and 'DYNAMIC_SIGFRAME' for riscv.
