[PATCH 1/1] configs: raise SPL_SYS_MALLOC_SIZE to 8 MiB on RISC-V

On several RISC-V boards we have seen that 1 MiB is a insufficient value
for CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MALLOC_SIZE.

For instance qemu-riscv32_spl_defconfig fails booting because u-boot.itb
exceeds 1 MiB.

8 MiB is a reasonable value that allows adding FPGA blobs or splash images
to main U-boot.
