Current nesting support of kernel mode vector only allows softirq
context to use v context nesting on top of kernel thread's v context.
I did not expect the use of v in the interrupt handler but I am open
to discussions if it is needed.
The reason why may_use_simd() checks for irq_disabled() is that
local_bh_enable later in kernel_vector_end() expects running with irq
on. Although the success path of preemptible v does not require
!irq_disabled(), the kernel falls back to non-preemptible v
(get_cpu_vector_context) in some cases. First is the nesting softirq
case, or a rare case where an exception handler uses v in a kernel
fault that also uses v. The second is when memory allocation for
kernel_vstate fails. The fall back uses the non-preemptible v, so it
is linked to bh_*.
We can get rid of the last case by failing the launch of a kernel
thread when the allocation fails.
