RISC-V: Make __NR_riscv_flush_icache visible to userspace
We were hoping to avoid making this visible to userspace, but it looks
like we're going to have to because QEMU's user-mode emulation doesn't
want to emulate a vDSO.  Having vDSO-only system calls was a bit
unothodox anyway, so I think in this case it's OK to just make the
actual system call number public.

This patch simply moves the definition of __NR_riscv_flush_icache
availiable to userspace, which results in the deletion of the now empty
vdso-syscalls.h.

Changes since v1:

* I've moved the definition into uapi/asm/syscalls.h rathen than
  uapi/asm/unistd.h.  This allows me to keep asm/unistd.h, so we can
  keep the syscall table macros sane.
* As a side effect of the above, this no longer disables all system
  calls on RISC-V.  Whoops!

/*
* Allows the instruction cache to be flushed from userspace. Despite RISC-V
* having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to userspace (which we
* can't trap!), that's not actually viable when running on Linux because the
* kernel might schedule a process on another hart. There is no way for
* userspace to handle this without invoking the kernel (as it doesn't know the
* thread->hart mappings), so we've defined a RISC-V specific system call to
* flush the instruction cache.
*
* __NR_riscv_flush_icache is defined to flush the instruction cache over an
* address range, with the flush applying to either all threads or just the
* caller. We don't currently do anything with the address range, that's just
* in there for forwards compatibility.
