[PATCH] riscv: Fix SR_SUM leakage across context switches

__switch_to() saves the sstatus value of prev and restores the SR_SUM bit
of next with csrs. However, csrs only sets bits. If prev has SR_SUM set
and next has SR_SUM clear in its saved state, the old SR_SUM bit remains
set in sstatus.
This lets next run with user memory access enabled even though its saved
SR_SUM state is clear.
Use csrrc to save the sstatus value of prev and clear SR_SUM from the
live CSR before restoring the saved SR_SUM state of next. This keeps
prev's SR_SUM state intact, while preventing it from leaking to next.
Fixes: 788aa64c01f1 ("riscv: save the SR_SUM status over switches")
