[PATCH v2] riscv: setup per-hart stack earlier

Harts need to use per-hart stack before any function call, even if that
function is a simple one. When the callee uses stack for register save/
restore, especially RA, if nested call, concurrent access by multiple
harts on the same stack will cause data-race.

This patch sets up SP before `board_init_f_alloc_reserve`. A side effect
of this is that the memory layout has changed as the following:

+----------------+        +----------------+ <----- SPL_STACK/
|  ......        |        |  hart 0 stack  |        SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR
|  malloc_base   |        +----------------+
+----------------+        |  hart 1 stack  |
|  GD            |        +----------------+ If not SMP, N=1
+----------------+        |  ......        |
|  hart 0 stack  |        +----------------+
+----------------+   ==>  |  hart N-1 stack|
|  hart 1 stack  |        +----------------+
+----------------+        |  ......        |
|  ......        |        |  malloc_base   |
+----------------+        +----------------+
|  hart N-1 stack|        |  GD            |
+----------------+        +----------------+
|                |        |                |
