riscv, bpf: Sign-extend return values

The RISC-V architecture does not expose sub-registers, and hold all
32-bit values in a sign-extended format [1] [2]:

  | The compiler and calling convention maintain an invariant that all
  | 32-bit values are held in a sign-extended format in 64-bit
  | registers. Even 32-bit unsigned integers extend bit 31 into bits
  | 63 through 32. Consequently, conversion between unsigned and
  | signed 32-bit integers is a no-op, as is conversion from a signed
  | 32-bit integer to a signed 64-bit integer.

While BPF, on the other hand, exposes sub-registers, and use
zero-extension (similar to arm64/x86).

This has led to some subtle bugs, where a BPF JITted program has not
sign-extended the a0 register (return value in RISC-V land), passed
the return value up the kernel, e.g.:

  | int from_bpf(void);
  |
  | long foo(void)
  | {
  |    return from_bpf();
  | }

Here, a0 would be 0xffff_ffff, instead of the expected
0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff.

Internally, the RISC-V JIT uses a5 as a dedicated register for BPF
return values.

Keep a5 zero-extended, but explicitly sign-extend a0 (which is used
outside BPF land). Now that a0 (RISC-V ABI) and a5 (BPF ABI) differs,
a0 is only moved to a5 for non-BPF native calls (BPF_PSEUDO_CALL).
