From: Björn Töpel <bjorn@rivosinc.com>

The RISC-V vector specification states:
  Executing a system call causes all caller-saved vector registers
  (v0-v31, vl, vtype) and vstart to become unspecified.

The vector registers are cleared, vill is set (invalid), and the
vector status is set to Initial.

That way we can prevent userspace from accidentally relying on the
stated save.

Rémi pointed out [1] that clearing the registers might be superfluous,
and setting vill is sufficient.

I figured I'd sent out a proper patch. I like Andy's optimization
patch, but TBH I think we should do that as a follow up.

As Rémi pointed out, the clearing might be opted out, but I left it in
here.
