[PATCH v1] riscv: disable runtime constant support for XIP kernels

[Charles Mirabile]

Runtime constant support is predicated on patching the kernel binary at
runtime, which is fundamentally impossible for an XIP kernel whose text
section is backed not by RAM but by memory mapped read-only storage.

If CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL is enabled, do not define riscv implementations of
the relevant runtime constant macros so that the fallbacks which do not
perform runtime constant optimization are used.
