riscv: sched: defer restoring Vector context for user
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}.
