riscv: vector: do not pass task_struct into riscv_v_vstate_{save,restore}()

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.

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}.

riscv: add support for misaligned trap handling in S-mode

Misalignment trap handling is only supported for M-mode and uses direct
accesses to user memory. In S-mode, when handling usermode fault, this
requires to use the get_user()/put_user() accessors. Implement
load_u8(), store_u8() and get_insn() using these accessors for
userspace and direct text access for kernel.

riscv: entry: Convert to generic entry

This patch converts riscv to use the generic entry infrastructure from
kernel/entry/*. The generic entry makes maintainers' work easier and
codes more elegant. Here are the changes:

- More clear entry.S with handle_exception and ret_from_exception
- Get rid of complex custom signal implementation
- Move syscall procedure from assembly to C, which is much more
readable.
- Connect ret_from_fork & ret_from_kernel_thread to generic entry.
- Wrap with irqentry_enter/exit and syscall_enter/exit_from_user_mode
- Use the standard preemption code instead of custom
