[v7, 02/10] riscv: vector: make Vector always available for softirq context

By disabling bottom halves in active kerne-mode Vector, softirq will not
be able to nest on top of any kernel-mode Vector.

After this patch, Vector context cannot start with irqs disabled.
Otherwise local_bh_enable() may run in a wrong context.

Disabling bh is not enough for RT-kernel to prevent preeemption. So
we must disable preemption, which also implies disabling bh on RT.

Related-to: commit 66c3ec5a7120 ("arm64: neon: Forbid when irqs are disabled")
