Subject: [PATCH 08/11] riscv/mm: prepare shadow stack for init task

With CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK, shadow call stack goes into data section.
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_SHADOW_STACK indicates hardware assisted shadow
stack are used. Hardware assisted shadow stack on riscv uses PTE.R=0, PTE.W=1
& PTE.X=0 encodings. Without CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_SHADOW_STACK, shadow stack
for init is placed in data section and thus regular read/write encodings are
applied to it. Although with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_SHADOW_STACK, they need to
go into different section. This change places it into `.shadowstack` section.
As part of this change early boot code (`setup_vm`), applies appropriate
PTE encodings to shadow call stack for init placed in `.shadowstack`
section.
