Currently, we restore the return address register as the last restoring
instruction in the epilog. The next instruction is `ret` usually. It is
a use of return address register. In some microarchitectures, there is
load-to-use data hazard. To avoid the load-to-use data hazard, we could
separate the load instruction from its use as far as possible. In this
patch, we reverse the order of restoring callee-saved registers to
increase the distance of `load ra` and `ret` in the epilog.

to allocate.

Regenerated using:
./llvm/utils/update_llc_test_checks.py -u llvm/test/CodeGen/RISCV/*.ll
This has added comments to spill-related instructions and added @plt to
some symbols.

LLVM may annotate the function with fastcc if there has only one caller
and there're no other caller out of the module and the function is not
naked or contain variable arguments.
The fastcc functions could pass the arguments by the caller saved registers.
