Subject: [PATCH 3/4] riscv: entry: Do not clobber the frame pointer

s0 is reserved for the frame pointer, so it should not be used as a
temporary register. Clobbering the frame pointer breaks stack traces.

- In handle_exception() and ret_from_exception(), use a2 for the saved
  stack pointer. a2 is chosen because r2 is the stack pointer register.
- In ret_from_exception(), use s1 for the saved status CSR value. Avoid
  clobbering s1 in the privilege mode check so it does not need to be
  reloaded later in the function.
- Use s1 and s2 in ret_from_fork() instead of s0 and s1. The entire
  p->thread.s array is zeroed at the beginning of copy_thread(), so the
  registers do not need to be zeroed separately for kernel threads.
