It's desirable to be able to reset the vector length to some sane default for new processes, since the new binary and its libraries processes may or may not be SVE-aware. This patch tracks the desired post-exec vector length (if any) in a new thread member sve_vl_onexec, and adds a new thread flag TIF_SVE_VL_INHERIT to control whether to inherit or reset the vector length. Currently these are inactive. Subsequent patches will provide the capability to configure them.
