[PATCH v3 2/2] RISC-V: KVM: Redirect illegal instruction traps to guest

From: Andy Chiu <andy.chiu at sifive.com>

The M-mode redirects an unhandled illegal instruction trap back
to S-mode. However, KVM running in HS-mode terminates the VS-mode
software when it receives illegal instruction trap. Instead, KVM
should redirect the illegal instruction trap back to VS-mode, and
let VS-mode trap handler decide the next step. This futher allows
guest kernel to implement on-demand enabling of vector extension
for a guest user space process upon first-use.
