RISC-V: Workaround for critical mstatus.FS bug
This change is a workaround for a bug where mstatus.FS is not correctly reporting dirty after operations that modify floating point registers. This a critical bug or RISC-V in QEMU as it results in floating point register file corruption when running SMP Linux due to task migration and possibly uniprocessor Linux if more than one process is using the FPU. This workaround will return dirty if mstatus.FS is switched from off to initial or clean. According to the specification it is legal for an implementation to return only off, or dirty.
