Subject: [PATCH 2/4] rsicv: avoid sending a SIGTRAP to a user thread trapped in WARN()

On RISC-V, when the kernel runs code on behalf of a user thread, and the
kernel executes a WARN() or WARN_ON(), the user thread will be sent
a bogus SIGTRAP.  Fix the RISC-V kernel code to not send a SIGTRAP when
a WARN()/WARN_ON() is executed.
