[PATCH v2 2/2] riscv: Disable text-data gap in flat binaries

[Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@wdc.com>]

uclibc/gcc combined with elf2flt riscv linker file fully resolve the
PC relative __global_pointer$ value at compile time and do not generate
a relocation entry to set a runtime gp value. As a result, if the
flatbin loader introduces a gap between the text and data sections, the
gp value becomes incorrect and prevent correct execution of a flatbin
executable.

Avoid this problem by enabling CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_TEXT_DATA_GAP
automatically when CONFIG_RISCV is enabled and CONFIG_MMU disabled.
