[PATCH v2 0/6] riscv: vector: misc ptrace fixes for debug use-cases

[Sergey Matyukevich <geomatsi@gmail.com>]

This patch series suggests fixes for several corner cases in the RISC-V
vector ptrace implementation:

- follow gdbserver expectations and return ENODATA instead of EINVAL if vector
  extension is supported but not yet activated for a traced process

- force vector context save on the next context switch after ptrace call that
  modified vector CSRs, to avoid reading stale values by the next ptrace calls

- force vector context save on the first context switch after vector context
  initialization, to avoid reading zero vlenb by an early attached debugger

For detailed description see the appropriate commit messages. A new test is
added into the tools/testing/selftests/riscv/vector to verify the fixes.
Each fix is accompanied by its own test case.

Initial version [1] of this series included only the last fix for zero vlenb.
