[PATCH v2 5/6] riscv: vector: Support calling schedule() for preemptible Vector

Each function entry implies a call to ftrace infrastructure. And it may
call into schedule in some cases. So, it is possible for preemptible
kernel-mode Vector to implicitly call into schedule. Since all V-regs
are caller-saved, it is possible to drop all V context when a thread
voluntarily call schedule(). Besides, we currently don't pass argument
through vector register, so we don't have to save/restore V-regs in
ftrace trampoline.
