riscv: Discard vector state on syscalls
The RISC-V vector specification states:
Executing a system call causes all caller-saved vector registers
(v0-v31, vl, vtype) and vstart to become unspecified.
The vector registers are set to all 1s, vill is set (invalid), and the
vector status is set to Dirty.
That way we can prevent userspace from accidentally relying on the
stated save.
Rémi pointed out [1] that writing to the registers might be
superfluous, and setting vill is sufficient.
