[PATCH 2/2] lib: sbi: Fix stale prev_context in RNMI handler

An earlier SBI trap may have already used the same M-mode exception
stack slot to save its trap context before an RNMI is taken.
sbi_trap_rnmi_handler() never initializes prev_context before
sbi_trap_error() walks it to print trap diagnostics, so it can read
whatever stale value happens to be left in that slot.
Link prev_context on entry and restore it on exit, the same way
sbi_trap_handler() does. This also lets an exception taken while
already inside RNMI handling chain back to the RNMI's own trap
context instead of dropping it, so sbi_trap_error() prints every
nested context correctly, including the RNMI's.
Fixes: 00fec20b4976 ("firmware: Add RNMI handler infrastructure")
