riscv: Get rid of CONFIG_PHYS_RAM_BASE in kernel physical address conversion
The usage of CONFIG_PHYS_RAM_BASE for all kernel types was a mistake:
this value is implementation-specific and this breaks the genericity of
the RISC-V kernel.

Fix this by introducing a new variable phys_ram_base that holds this
value at runtime and use it in the kernel physical address conversion
macro. Since this value is used only for XIP kernels, evaluate it only if
CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL is set which in addition optimizes this macro for
standard kernels at compile-time.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
