riscv: drop the use of XIP_OFFSET in XIP_FIXUP_FLASH_OFFSET
XIP_OFFSET is the hard-coded offset of writable data section within the
kernel.
By hard-coding this value, the read-only section of the kernel (which is
placed before the writable data section) is restricted in size.
As a preparation to remove this hard-coded macro XIP_OFFSET entirely, stop
using XIP_OFFSET in XIP_FIXUP_FLASH_OFFSET. Instead, use __data_loc and
_sdata to do the same thing.
While at it, also add a description for XIP_FIXUP_FLASH_OFFSET.
