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