riscv: lib: vectorize copy_to_user/copy_from_user

This patch utilizes Vector to perform copy_to_user/copy_from_user. If
Vector is available and the size of copy is large enough for Vector to
perform better than scalar, then direct the kernel to do Vector copies
for userspace. Though the best programming practice for users is to
reduce the copy, this provides a faster variant when copies are
inevitable.

The optimal size for using Vector, copy_to_user_thres, is only a
heuristic for now. We can add DT parsing if people feel the need of
customizing it.

The exception fixup code of the __asm_vector_usercopy must fallback to
the scalar one because accessing user pages might fault, and must be
sleepable. Current kernel-mode Vector does not allow tasks to be
preemptible, so we must disactivate Vector and perform a scalar fallback
in such case.

The original implementation of Vector operations comes from
https://github.com/sifive/sifive-libc, which we agree to contribute to
Linux kernel.
