Subject: [PATCH 4/8] riscv: move exception table immediately after RO_DATA

Move EXCEPTION_TABLE immediately after RO_DATA. Make it easy to set the
attribution of the sections which should be read-only at a time.
Move .sdata to indicate the start of data section with write permission.
This patch is prepared for STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support.
