membarrier: riscv: Provide core serializing command

RISC-V uses xRET instructions on return from interrupt and to go back
to user-space; the xRET instruction is not core serializing.

Use FENCE.I for providing core serialization as follows:

- by calling sync_core_before_usermode() on return from interrupt (cf.
ipi_sync_core()),

- via switch_mm() and sync_core_before_usermode() (respectively, for
uthread->uthread and kthread->uthread transitions) before returning
to user-space.

On RISC-V, the serialization in switch_mm() is activated by resetting
the icache_stale_mask of the mm at prepare_sync_core_cmd().
