Log:
  Trim duplicate CSR swaps from user exceptions.
  
  The stack pointer is swapped with the sscratch CSR just before the
  jump to cpu_exception_handler_user where the first instruction swaps
  it again.  The two swaps together are a no-op, but the csr swap
  instructions can be expensive (e.g. on Bluespec RISC-V cores csr swap
  instructions force a full pipeline stall).
