The vstate in thread_struct is zeroed when the vector context is initialized. That includes read-only register vlenb, which holds the vector register length in bytes. Zeroed state persists until mstatus.VS becomes 'dirty' and a context switch saves the actual hardware values. This can expose the zero vlenb value to the user-space in early debug scenarios, e.g. when ptrace attaches to a traced process early, before any vector instruction except the first one was executed. Fix this by specifying proper vlenb on vector context init.
