arch-riscv: Fix unexpected behavior of float operations in Mac OS
The uint_fast16_t is the integer at least 16 bits size, it can be
32, 64 bits and more. Usually most of the simulations are in the
x86-64 linux host, the size of uint_fast16_t is 64 bits. Therefore,
there is no problem for double precision float operations and it can
pass FloatMM test. However, in the Mac OS, the size of uint_fast16_t
is 16 bits, it will lose the upper bits when converting float
register bits to freg_t and it will generate unexpected results for
FloatMM test.
The change can guarantee that the size of data in freg_t is at least
64 bits and it will not lose any data from floating point to freg_t.
