MIPS: cevt-r4k: Fix out-of-bounds array access

commit 9d7f29cdb4ca53506115cf1d7a02ce6013894df0 upstream.

calculate_min_delta() may incorrectly access a 4th element of buf2[]
which only has 3 elements. This may trigger undefined behaviour and has
been reported to cause strange crashes in start_kernel() sometime after
timer initialization when built with GCC 5.3, possibly due to
register/stack corruption:

sched_clock: 32 bits at 200MHz, resolution 5ns, wraps every 10737418237ns
CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffb0aa, epc == 8067daa8, ra == 8067da84

UBSAN also detects the same issue:

=================================================================

buf2[] is intentionally only 3 elements so that the last element is the
median once 5 samples have been inserted, so explicitly prevent the
possibility of comparing against the 4th element rather than extending
the array.
