kernel: Fix ath79 DSP exception at bootup

This resolves a hazard between a mtc0 and a mfc0 instruction after
activating the DSP support. Without this fix the CPU could use the old
value again and the DSP support would not be active.

Fixes: FS#2928, FS#2899

+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence for DSPen
+
+This resolves the hazard between the mtc0 in the change_c0_status() and
+the mfc0 in configure_exception_vector(). Without resolving this hazard
+configure_exception_vector() could read an old value and would restore
+this old value again. This would revert the changes change_c0_status()
+did. I checked this by printing out the read_c0_status() at the end of
+per_cpu_trap_init() and the ST0_MX is not set without this patch.
+
+The hazard is documented in the MIPS Architecture Reference Manual Vol.
+III: MIPS32/microMIPS32 Privileged Resource Architecture (MD00088), rev
+6.03 table 8.1 which includes:
+
+   Producer | Consumer | Hazard
+  ----------|----------|----------------------------
+   mtc0     | mfc0     | any coprocessor 0 register
+
+I saw this hazard on an Atheros AR9344 rev 2 SoC with a MIPS 74Kc CPU.
+There the change_c0_status() function would activate the DSPen by
+setting ST0_MX in the c0_status register. This was reverted and then the
+system got a DSP exception when the DSP registers were saved in
+save_dsp() in the first process switch. The crash looks like this:
+
+[    0.089999] Mount-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes, linear)
+[    0.097796] Mountpoint-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes, linear)
+[    0.107070] Kernel panic - not syncing: Unexpected DSP exception
+[    0.113470] Rebooting in 1 seconds..
+
+We saw this problem in OpenWrt only on the MIPS 74Kc based Atheros SoCs,
+not on the 24Kc based SoCs. We only saw it with kernel 5.4 not with
+kernel 4.19, in addition we had to use GCC 8.4 or 9.X, with GCC 8.3 it
+did not happen.
+
+In the kernel I bisected this problem to commit 9012d011660e ("compiler:
+allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING"), but when this was
+reverted it also happened after commit 172dcd935c34b ("MIPS: Always
+allocate exception vector for MIPSr2+").
+
+Commit 0b24cae4d535 ("MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence.")
+does similar changes to a different file. I am not sure if there are
+more places affected by this problem.
