OK, answering my own question. The original Linux commit introducing
riscv vdso, e2c0cdfba7f69925afc92b20cd9835d81e11a4f1, has:

+VERSION
+{
+       LINUX_4.15 {

and 921ebd8f2c081b3cf6c3b29ef4103eef3ff26054 adds
__riscv_flush_icache under that. So apparently the version was just
miscopied/typo when added to musl.

I'll apply this right away and it'll be in the upcoming release.
