ARMv7-R: fix CPSR corruption after exception handling



A sporadic hang with consequent crash is observed when booting:

It seems to be caused by the corrupted or wrong CPSR restored on return
from exception. NuttX restores the context using code like this:

    msr spsr, r1

GCC translates this to:

    msr spsr_fc, r1

As a result, not all SPSR fields are updated on exception return. This
should be:

    msr spsr_fsxc, r1

On some evaluation boards, spsr_svc may have totally invalid value at
power-on-reset. As it is not initialized at boot, the code above may
result in the corruption of cpsr and thus unexpected behavior.
