Add kernel_vstate to keep track of kernel-mode Vector registers when
trap introduced context switch happens. Also, provide riscv_v_flags to
let context save/restore routine track context status. Context tracking
happens whenever the core starts its in-kernel Vector executions. An
active (dirty) kernel task's V contexts will be saved to memory whenever
a trap-introduced context switch happens. Or, when a softirq, which
happens to nest on top of it, uses Vector. Context retoring happens when
the execution transfer back to the original Kernel context where it
first enable preempt_v.
Also, provide a config CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V_PREEMPTIVE to give users an
option to disable preemptible kernel-mode Vector at build time. Users
with constraint memory may want to disable this config as preemptible
kernel-mode Vector needs extra space for tracking of per thread's
kernel-mode V context. Or, users might as well want to disable it if all
kernel-mode Vector code is time sensitive and cannot tolerate context
switch overhead.

riscv_v_vstate_{save,restore}() can operate only on the knowlege of
struct __riscv_v_ext_state, and struct pt_regs. Let the caller decides
which should be passed into the function. Meanwhile, the kernel-mode
Vector is going to introduce another vstate, so this also makes functions
potentially able to be reused.

User will use its Vector registers only after the kernel really returns
to the userspace. So we can delay restoring Vector registers as long as
we are still running in kernel mode. So, add a thread flag to indicates
the need of restoring Vector and do the restore at the last
arch-specific exit-to-user hook. This save the context restoring cost
when we switch over multiple processes that run V in kernel mode. For
example, if the kernel performs a context swicth from A->B->C, and
returns to C's userspace, then there is no need to restore B's
V-register.
Besides, this also prevents us from repeatedly restoring V context when
executing kernel-mode Vector multiple times.
The cost of this is that we must disable preemption and mark vector as
busy during vstate_{save,restore}. Because then the V context will not
get restored back immediately when a trap-causing context switch happens
in the middle of vstate_{save,restore}.

The goal of this patch is to provide full support of Vector in kernel
softirq context. So that some of the crypto alogrithms won't need scalar
fallbacks.
By disabling bottom halves in active kernel-mode Vector, softirq will
not be able to nest on top of any kernel-mode Vector. So, softirq
context is able to use Vector whenever it runs.
After this patch, Vector context cannot start with irqs disabled.
Otherwise local_bh_enable() may run in a wrong context.
Disabling bh is not enough for RT-kernel to prevent preeemption. So
we must disable preemption, which also implies disabling bh on RT.

Add kernel_vector_begin() and kernel_vector_end() function declarations
and corresponding definitions in kernel_mode_vector.c
These are needed to wrap uses of vector in kernel mode.
