riscv: vector: init vector context with proper vlenb
The vstate in thread_struct is zeroed when the vector context is
initialized. That includes read-only register vlenb, which holds
the vector register length in bytes. Zeroed state persists until
mstatus.VS becomes 'dirty' and a context switch saves the actual
hardware values.
This can expose the zero vlenb value to the user-space in early
debug scenarios, e.g. when ptrace attaches to a traced process
early, before any vector instruction except the first one was
executed.
Fix this by specifying proper vlenb on vector context init.
