[PATCH] RISC-V: make EFI app testcase consistent

Jan Beulich submits a patch to make the RISC-V EFI app testcase consistent. The patch aligns the options passed to the assembler with those passed to the linker, specifically adding -mlittle-endian to the assembler flags, mirroring a previous fix that addressed linker crashes due to inconsistent use of options in testcases.
