The orig_a0 is missing in struct user_regs_struct of riscv, and there is
no way to add it without breaking UAPI. (See Link tag below)

Like NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL do, we add a new regset name NT_RISCV_ORIG_A0 to
access original a0 register from userspace via ptrace API.

Changes in v4:
- Fix a copy paste error in selftest. (Forget to commit...)
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241226-riscv-new-regset-v3-0-f5b96465826b@coelacanthus.name

Changes in v3:
- Use return 0 directly for readability.
- Fix test for modify a0.
- Add Fixes: tag
- Remove useless Cc: stable.
- Selftest will check both a0 and orig_a0, but depends on the
  correctness of PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241203-riscv-new-regset-v2-0-d37da8c0cba6@coelacanthus.name

Changes in v2:
- Fix integer width.
- Add selftest.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241201-riscv-new-regset-v1-1-c83c58abcc7b@coelacanthus.name
