scripts/gdb: add lx_current support for riscv

csr_sscratch CSR holds current task_struct address when hart is in user
space.  Trap handler on entry spills csr_sscratch into "tp" (x2) register
and zeroes out csr_sscratch CSR.  Trap handler on exit reloads "tp" with
expected user mode value and place current task_struct address again in
csr_sscratch CSR.

This patch assumes "tp" is pointing to task_struct. If value in
csr_sscratch is numerically greater than "tp" then it assumes csr_sscratch
is correct address of current task_struct. This logic holds when
   - hart is in user space, "tp" will be less than csr_sscratch.
   - hart is in kernel space but not in trap handler, "tp" will be more
     than csr_sscratch (csr_sscratch being equal to 0).
   - hart is executing trap handler
       - "tp" is still pointing to user mode but csr_sscratch contains
          ptr to task_struct. Thus numerically higher.
       - "tp" is  pointing to task_struct but csr_sscratch now contains
          either 0 or numerically smaller value (transiently holds
          user mode tp)
