MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence.

commit 0b24cae4d535045f4c9e177aa228d4e97bad212c upstream.

Add a missing EHB (Execution Hazard Barrier) in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence.
Without this execution hazard barrier it's possible for the value read
back from the KScratch register to be the value from before the mtc0.

Reproducible on P5600 & P6600.

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
