Writing the AMR register is documented to require context synchronizing operations before and after, for it to take effect as expected. The KUAP restore at interrupt exit time deliberately avoids the isync after the AMR update because it only needs to take effect after the context synchronizing RFID that soon follows. Add a comment for this. The missing isync before the update doesn't have an obvious justification, and seems it could theoretically allow a rogue user access to leak past the AMR update. Add isyncs for these.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
