This failure log makes me carefully go through the ex_table mechanism
again. Now I knew where's the failure from and what should be done:
Because FUTEX is disabled in nommu_k210_defconfig. However, there's a
deeply hidden issue here: there should be no __ex_table section usage
at all in NOMMU case, becaue __ex_table usage relies on MMU to do the
*fixup*, so I need to patch the risc extable part instead.

Thanks
