RISC-V: Fix a race condition during kernel stack overflow
This fixes a concrete bug but is also the basis for some cleanup work, so I'm merging it based on the offending commit in order to minimize future conflicts. * commit '7e1864332fbc1b993659eab7974da9fe8bf8c128': riscv: fix race when vmap stack overflow
