Subject: [PATCH 1/1] riscv: Implement arch_sync_kernel_mappings() for "preventive" TLB flush

Since RISC-V is a microarchitecture that allows caching invalid entries in the TLB,
it is necessary to issue a "preventive" SFENCE.VMA to ensure that each core obtains
the correct kernel mapping.

The patch implements TLB flushing in arch_sync_kernel_mappings(), ensuring that kernel
page table mappings created via vmap/vmalloc() are updated before switching MM.
