    RISC-V: Fix use-after-free error in `parse_multiletter_ext'
    
    Avoid undefined arithmetic involving a pointer to a heap allocation that
    has been freed and move a problematic calculation ahead of the following
    call to `free' in `riscv_subset_list::parse_multiletter_ext', removing a
    compilation error:
    
    .../gcc/common/config/riscv/riscv-common.cc: In member function 'const char* riscv_subset_list::parse_multiletter_ext(const char*, const char*, const char*)':
    .../gcc/common/config/riscv/riscv-common.cc:905:27: error: pointer 'subset' used after 'void free(void*)' [-Werror=use-after-free]
      905 |       p += end_of_version - subset;
          |            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~
    .../gcc/common/config/riscv/riscv-common.cc:904:12: note: call to 'void free(void*)' here
      904 |       free (subset);
          |       ~~~~~^~~~~~~~
    cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
    make[2]: *** [Makefile:2428: riscv-common.o] Error 1
    
    and a build regression from commit 671a283636de ("Add -Wuse-after-free
    [PR80532].").

            (riscv_subset_list::parse_multiletter_ext): Move pointer
            arithmetic ahead of `free'.
