On RV32, updating the 64-bit stimecmp (or vstimecmp) CSR requires two
separate 32-bit writes. A race condition exists if the timer triggers
during these two writes.

The RISC-V Privileged Specification (e.g., Section 3.2.1 for mtimecmp)
recommends a specific 3-step sequence to avoid spurious interrupts
when updating 64-bit comparison registers on 32-bit systems:

1. Set the low-order bits (stimecmp) to all ones (ULONG_MAX).
2. Set the high-order bits (stimecmph) to the desired value.
3. Set the low-order bits (stimecmp) to the desired value.

Current implementation writes the LSB first without ensuring a future
value, which may lead to a transient state where the 64-bit comparison
is incorrectly evaluated as "expired" by the hardware. This results in
spurious timer interrupts.

This patch adopts the spec-recommended 3-step sequence to ensure the
intermediate 64-bit state is never smaller than the current time.
