[PATCH] RISC-V: Load modules within relative jump range of the kernel text.

Note that this patch worked in my old modules patchset and seems to be
working now, but my kernel boot locks up on top of
riscv-for-linus-4.17-mw0 and I don't know if it's due to this patch or
something else that's changed in the mean time.
