KVM: MIPS: Precalculate MMIO load resume PC



commit e1e575f6 upstream.

The advancing of the PC when completing an MMIO load is done before
re-entering the guest, i.e. before restoring the guest ASID. However if
the load is in a branch delay slot it may need to access guest code to
read the prior branch instruction. This isn't safe in TLB mapped code at
the moment, nor in the future when we'll access unmapped guest segments
using direct user accessors too, as it could read the branch from host
user memory instead.

Therefore calculate the resume PC in advance while we're still in the
right context and save it in the new vcpu->arch.io_pc (replacing the no
longer needed vcpu->arch.pending_load_cause), and restore it on MMIO
completion.
