ARCv2: entry: early return from exception need not clear U & DE bits
Exception handlers call FAKE_RET_FROM_EXCPN to - clear AE bit: drop down from exception active to pure kernel mode allowing further excptions - set IE bit: re-enable interrupts It additionally also clears U bit (user mode) and DE bit (delay slot execution) which is redundant as hardware does that already on any taken exception. Morevoer the current software clearing is bogus anyways as the KFLAG instruction being used for purpose can't possibly write those bits anyways. So don't pretend to clear them.
