MIPS: Fix assembly error from MIPSr2 code used within MIPS_ISA_ARCH_LEVEL



Fix assembly errors like:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:287: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips3 (mips3) `dins $10,$7,32,32'
{standard input}:680: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips3 (mips3) `dins $10,$7,32,32'
{standard input}:1274: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips3 (mips3) `dins $12,$9,32,32'
{standard input}:2175: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips3 (mips3) `dins $10,$7,32,32'
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:277: mm/highmem.o] Error 1

with code produced from `__cmpxchg64' for MIPS64r2 CPU configurations
using CONFIG_32BIT and CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT.

This is due to MIPS_ISA_ARCH_LEVEL downgrading the assembly architecture
to `r4000' i.e. MIPS III for MIPS64r2 configurations, while there is a
block of code containing a DINS MIPS64r2 instruction conditionalized on
MIPS_ISA_REV >= 2 within the scope of the downgrade.

The assembly architecture override code pattern has been put there for
LL/SC instructions, so that code compiles for configurations that select
a processor to build for that does not support these instructions while
still providing run-time support for processors that do, dynamically
switched by non-constant `cpu_has_llsc'.  It went in with linux-mips.org
commit aac8aa77 ("Enable a suitable ISA for the assembler around
ll/sc so that code builds even for processors that don't support the
instructions. Plus minor formatting fixes.") back in 2005.

Fix the problem by wrapping these instructions along with the adjacent
SYNC instructions only, following the practice established with commit
cfd54de3 ("MIPS: Avoid move psuedo-instruction whilst using
MIPS_ISA_LEVEL") and commit 378ed6f0 ("MIPS: Avoid using .set mips0
to restore ISA").  Strictly speaking the SYNC instructions do not have
to be wrapped as they are only used as a Loongson3 erratum workaround,
so they will be enabled in the assembler by default, but do this so as
to keep code consistent with other places.
