target-arm: Raw CPSR writes should skip checks and bank switching
Raw CPSR writes should skip the architectural checks for whether we're allowed to set the A or F bits and should also not do the switching of register banks if the mode changes. Handle this inside cpsr_write(), which allows us to drop the "manually set the mode bits to avoid the bank switch" code from all the callsites which are using CPSRWriteRaw. This fixes a bug in 32-bit KVM handling where we had forgotten the "manually set the mode bits" part and could thus potentially trash the register state if the mode from the last exit to userspace differed from the mode on this exit.
