Kernel uses __kvm_riscv_switch_to() and __kvm_riscv_switch_from() to switch
the context of host kernel and guest kernel. Several CSRs belonging to the
context will be read and written during the context switch. To ensure
atomic read-modify-write control of CSR and ordering of CSR accesses, some
hardware blocks or flushes the pipeline when writing a CSR. In this
circumstance, grouping CSR executions together as much as possible can
reduce the performance impact of the pipeline. Therefore, this commit
reorders the CSR instructions to enhance the context switch performance..
