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.
