[RFC,02/13] riscv: vector: make Vector always available for softirq context

From: Andy Chiu <[e-mail]>

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.

Related-to: commit 696207d4258b ("arm64/sve: Make kernel FPU protection RT friendly")
Related-to: commit 66c3ec5a7120 ("arm64: neon: Forbid when irqs are disabled")
