Subject: [PATCH v1 1/5] riscv: Improve arch_get_mmap_end() macro

This macro caused me some confusion, which took some reviewer's time to
make it clear, so I propose adding a short comment in code to avoid
confusion in the future.

Also, added some improvements to the macro, such as removing the
assumption of VA_USER_SV57 being the largest address space.
