[PATCH 2/2] irqchip/sifive-plic: Disable S-mode IRQs if running in M-mode

From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel at wdc.com>

When detecting a hart context for a privilege mode different from the
current running privilege mode, we simply skip to the next hart context
register.

This means that we never clear the S-mode enable bits when running in
M-mode.

On canaan k210, a bunch of S-mode interrupts are enabled by the bootrom.
These S-mode specific interrupts should never trigger, since we never set
the mie.SEIE bit in the parent interrupt controller (riscv-intc).

However, we will be able to see the mip.SEIE bit set as pending.

This doesn't seem like a good default when CONFIG_RISCV_M_MODE is set,
since in that case we will never enter lower privilege mode (e.g. S-mode).

Let's clear the S-mode enable bits when running the kernel in M-mode, such
that we won't have a interrupt pending bit set, which we will never clear.
