[Bug Report] sd bit does not update immediately

[Phantom1003]

Our co-simulation framework found that the mstatus.sd field does not update immediately after mstatus.fs field is dirty.

In the following test case, we set mstatus.fs field to initial(0b01), and then execute a float-point instruction. After the float-point instruction, we read the value in mastatus. We found that cva6 successfully sets fs to dirty while sd is still zero.

According to riscv-privileged specification:

The SD bit is a read-only bit that summarizes whether either the FS, VS, or XS fields signal the presence of some dirty state that will require saving extended user context to memory.
