[PATCH] riscv: Handle zicsr/zifencei issue between gcc and binutils

[Mingzheng Xing]

When compiling the kernel with the toolchain composed of GCC >= 12.1.0 and
binutils < 2.38, default ISA spec used when building binutils and GCC, the
following build failure will appear because the
CONFIG_TOOLCHAIN_NEEDS_EXPLICIT_ZICSR_ZIFENCEI is not turned on.
(i.e, gcc-12.1.0 and binutils-2.36, or gcc-12.3.0 and binutils-2.37, use
default ISA spec.)

  CC      arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o
  <<BUILDDIR>>/arch/riscv/include/asm/vdso/gettimeofday.h: Assembler messages:
  <<BUILDDIR>>/arch/riscv/include/asm/vdso/gettimeofday.h:79: Error: unrecognized opcode `csrr a5,0xc01'

Binutils has updated the default ISA spec version, and the community has
responded well to this[1][2][3], but it appears that this is not over yet.

We also need to consider the situation of binutils < 2.38 but
GCC >= 12.1.0, since the combination between different versions of GCC and
binutils is not unique, which is to some extent flexible. GCC release
12.1.0 updated the default ISA spec version in GCC commit[4].

For more information, please refer to:

commit 6df2a016c0c8 ("riscv: fix build with binutils 2.38")

 	  Newer binutils versions default to ISA spec version 20191213 which
 	  moves some instructions from the I extension to the Zicsr and Zifencei
 	  extensions.
+	  Similarly, GCC release 12.1.0 has changed the default ISA spec version to
+	  20191213, so the above situation requires this option to be enabled.
