[PATCH v1 0/2] RISC-V: KVM: fix vcpu vector context handling

This series fixes a vtype corruption encountered when running perf +
vector workload on KVM.

The root cause of the bug is that the kernel-mode vector (KMV)
misattributes the guest's vcpu context as the user's context. To solve
this, we need to correctly save the vcpu context when the kernel-mode
vector is serving a guest.

However, calling directly into KVM from RISC-V generic architecture code
creates a reverse dependency, which is problematic when KVM is built as
a module. To address this, we introduce an RCU-protected callback for
context flushing, which KVM registers during module init.

This series will create merge conflict with my v4 [1] series on syscall
optimization. I will send out a v5 that has the conflict resolved once
this series is sufficiently reviewed.

Patch 1 is a preparatory cleanup that refactors
riscv_v_start_kernel_context().
Patch 2 implements the callback mechanism and fixes the context handling.
