riscv: kprobes: Fix probe address validation

[ Upstream commit 9e68bd803fac49274fde914466fd3b07c4d602c8 ]

When adding a kprobe such as "p:probe/tcp_sendmsg _text+15392192",
arch_check_kprobe would start iterating all instructions starting from
_text until the probed address. Not only is this very inefficient, but
literal values in there (e.g. left by function patching) are
misinterpreted in a way that causes a desync.

Fix this by doing it like x86: start the iteration at the closest
preceding symbol instead of the given starting point.
