[PATCH] riscv: increase boot command line size to 1K

Kernel parameters string is limited to 512 characters on riscv (using
the default from include/uapi/asm-generic/setup.h).

In some testing environments (e.g., qemu with long kernel parameters
string) we may exceed this limit, triggering errors like the following:

[ 3.331893] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000000
[ 3.332625] CPU: 2 PID: 1 Comm: sh Not tainted 6.1.0-rc6-kc #1
[ 3.333233] Hardware name: riscv-virtio,qemu (DT)

[ 3.337561] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000000 ]---

It seems reasonable enough to increase the default command line size to
1024, like arm, to prevent issues like the one reported above.
