 riscv: efi: Set NX compat flag in PE/COFF header 
The IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_NX_COMPAT informs the firmware that the
EFI binary does not rely on pages that are both executable and
writable.

The flag is used by some distro versions of GRUB to decide if the EFI
binary may be executed.

As the Linux kernel neither has RWX sections nor needs RWX pages for
relocation we should set the flag.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
