[PATCH v3 0/4] riscv: optimize Vector context restore on syscall

[Andy Chiu]

This patch series optimizes riscv vector state handling across syscall
boundaries and context switches. The kernel now keeps track of the
INITIAL state in sstatus.vs to optimize unnecessary context management
operations.

This version merges daichengrong's RFC patch [1] for the state tracking
code as it looks cleaner than my v2/v1.

Patch summary:
 - Updated patches: 2
 - New patches: 1, 3, 4

Changelog v3:
 - Refactor function names. (1, 2)
 - Merge daichengrong's patch, with a fix and optimzation. (2)
 - Fix ptrace GETREGSET failure. (3)
 - Strengthen ptrace SETREGSET semantics and add a test to cover it. (3,
   4)
 - Fix a potential ABI break in signal and add a test to prevent future
   breaks. (3, 4)
