riscv: vector: allow kernel-mode Vector with preemption
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.
