We assume RISC-V uses an uncompressed kernel in
lib/systems/platforms.nix.  Since this is the first Linux version to
support either xz or zstd compressed kernels on RISC-V, we can't
change platforms.nix to match the other platforms without breaking
builds of older kernel versions, so let's just preserve the old
behaviour.

We could in future decide to use gzip-compressed kernels on RISC-V,
which is supported going back further.
