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.
