target-arm: Correct handling of writes to CPSR mode bits from gdb in usermode
In helper.c the expression (env->uncached_cpsr & CPSR_M) != CPSR_USER is always true; the right hand side was supposed to be ARM_CPU_MODE_USR (an error in commit cb01d391). Since the incorrect expression was always true, this just meant that commit cb01d391 had no effect. However simply changing the RHS here would reveal a logic error: if the mode is USR we wish to completely ignore the attempt to set the mode bits, which means that we must clear the CPSR_M bits from mask to avoid the uncached_cpsr bits being updated at the end of the function. Move the condition into the correct place in the code, fix its RHS constant, and add a comment about the fact that we must be doing a gdbstub write if we're in user mode.
