riscv/runtime-const: Disable linker relaxation for RUNTIME_MAGIC
Commit ee10b1028129 ("riscv/runtime-const: Replace open-coded
placeholder with RUNTIME_MAGIC") switched the lui + addi[w] placeholder
from hand-encoded immediates to %hi()/%lo() of RUNTIME_MAGIC.
GNU Assembler folds %hi()/%lo() of an absolute expression at assembly
time. LLVM's integrated assembler since 21.1 defers it to the linker
instead, which range checks it: on riscv64 R_RISCV_HI20 must fit a
signed 20-bit field, and RUNTIME_MAGIC (0x89ABCDEF) is a positive 64-bit
value rather than a sign-extended 32-bit one, so it does not:
ld.lld: error: relocation R_RISCV_HI20 out of range: 563901 is not in
[-524288, 524287]
The sequence is patched at runtime and its instruction offsets are
recorded via ".long 1b - .", so the linker must not touch it in the
first place. Add ".option norelax", as is already done for
ALTERNATIVE() and static keys; the integrated assembler then resolves
%hi()/%lo() itself and emits no relocation, restoring the exact
encoding the open-coded placeholder produced.
