The only case where we can attempt a cpsr_write() mode switch from
User is from the gdbstub; all other cases are handled in the
calling code (notably translate.c). Architecturally attempts to
alter the mode bits from user mode are simply ignored (and not
treated as a bad mode switch, which in v8 sets CPSR.IL). Make
mode switches from User ignored in cpsr_write() as well, for
consistency.
