riscv: switch to relative alternative entries

Instead of using absolute addresses for both the old instrucions and
the alternative instructions, use offsets relative to the alt_entry
values. So this not only cuts the size of the alternative entry, but
also meets the prerequisite for patching alternatives in the vDSO,
since absolute alternative entries are subject to dynamic relocation,
which is incompatible with the vDSO building.
