raid6: riscv: Fix NULL pointer dereference caused by a missing clobber
When running the raid6 user-space test program on RISC-V QEMU, there's a
segmentation fault which seems caused by accessing a NULL pointer,
which is the pointer variable p/q in raid6_rvv*_gen/xor_syndrome_real(),
p/q should have been equal to dptr[x], but when I use GDB command to
see its value, which was 0x10 like below:

"
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000011062 in raid6_rvv2_xor_syndrome_real (disks=<optimized out>, start=0, stop=<optimized out>, bytes=4096, ptrs=<optimized out>) at rvv.c:386
(gdb) p p
$1 = (u8 *) 0x10 <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x10>
"

The issue was found to be related with:
1) Compile optimization
   There's no segmentation fault if compiling the raid6test program with
   the optimization flag -O0.
2) The RISC-V vector command vsetvli
   If not used t0 as the first parameter in vsetvli, there's no
   segmentation fault either.

This patch selects the 2nd solution to fix the issue.

[Palmer: The actual issue here is a missing clobber in the vsetvli code.
It's a little tricky: we've already probed for VLENB so we don't need to
look at the output register, we just need to have an X register in the
instruction as that's the form required to actually set VL.  Thus we
clobber a register, and without describing that we end up breaking
compilers.]

raid6: Add RISC-V SIMD syndrome and recovery calculations
The assembly is originally based on the ARM NEON and int.uc, but uses
RISC-V vector instructions to implement the RAID6 syndrome and
recovery calculations.

The functions are tested on QEMU running with the option "-icount shift=0":

  raid6: rvvx1    gen()  1008 MB/s
  raid6: rvvx2    gen()  1395 MB/s
  raid6: rvvx4    gen()  1584 MB/s
  raid6: rvvx8    gen()  1694 MB/s
  raid6: int64x8  gen()   113 MB/s
  raid6: int64x4  gen()   116 MB/s
  raid6: int64x2  gen()   272 MB/s
  raid6: int64x1  gen()   229 MB/s
  raid6: using algorithm rvvx8 gen() 1694 MB/s
  raid6: .... xor() 1000 MB/s, rmw enabled
  raid6: using rvv recovery algorithm
