riscv: Define TASK_SIZE_MAX for __access_ok()
TASK_SIZE_MAX should be set to a constant value, at least the largest
valid userspace address under any runtime configuration. This optimizes
the check in __access_ok(), which no longer needs to compute the runtime
value of TASK_SIZE. The check does not need to be exact, as long as it
accepts all valid userspace addresses and rejects all valid kernel
addresses; well-behaved programs will never fail the access_ok() check.
For RISC-V, which requires all virtual addresses to be sign extended,
the optimal choice is LONG_MAX because it simplifies the limit
comparison to a sign bit test.
This removes about half of the references to pgtable_l[45]_enabled.
