riscv: add a data fence for CMODX in the kernel mode
RISC-V spec explicitly calls out that a local fence.i is not enough for the code modification to be visble from a remote hart. In fact, it states: To make a store to instruction memory visible to all RISC-V harts, the writing hart also has to execute a data FENCE before requesting that all remote RISC-V harts execute a FENCE.I. Although current riscv drivers for IPI use ordered MMIO when sending IPIs in order to synchronize the action between previous csd writes, riscv does not restrict itself to any particular flavor of IPI. Any driver or firmware implementation that does not order data writes before the IPI may pose a risk for code-modifying race. Thus, add a fence here to order data writes before making the IPI.
