From: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@xxxxxxxx> VLEN describes the length of each vector register and some instructions need specific minimal VLENs to work correctly. The vector code already includes a variable riscv_v_vsize that contains the value of "32 vector registers with vlenb length" that gets filled during boot. vlenb is the value contained in the CSR_VLENB register and the value represents "VLEN / 8". So add riscv_vector_vlen() to return the actual VLEN value for in-kernel users when they need to check the available VLEN.
