[PATCH 2/4] spufs: update SPU_Status[CISHP] in backing runcntl write

From: Masato Noguchi <Masato.Noguchi at jp.sony.com>

Currently, the kernel may fail to restart a SPE context which
has stopped and been swapped out.

This patch changes spu_backing_runcntl_write to emulate the real
SPU_Status register exactly.  When the SPU Run Control register
is written with SPU_RunCntl[Run] set to '1', the physical SPU
automatically sets SPU_Status[R] and clears SPU_Status[CISHP].
