MIPS: Extract schedule_mfi info from __schedule
schedule_mfi is supposed to be extracted from schedule(), and is used in thread_saved_pc and get_wchan. But, after optimization, schedule() is reduced to a sibling call to __schedule(), and no real frame info can be extracted. One solution is to compile schedule() with -fno-omit-frame-pointer and -fno-optimize-sibling-calls, but that will incur performance degradation. Another solution is to extract info from the real scheduler, __schedule, and this is the approache adopted here. This patch reads the __schedule address by either following the 'j' call in schedule if KALLSYMS is disabled or by using kallsyms_lookup_name to lookup __schedule if KALLSYMS is available, then, extracts schedule_mfi from __schedule frame info. This patch also fixes the "Can't analyze schedule() prologue" warning at boot time.
