[v2,35/36] MIPS: genex: Don't reload address unnecessarily

Commit Message

In ejtag_debug_handler() we must reload the address of
ejtag_debug_buffer_spinlock if an sc fails, since the address in k0 will
have been clobbered by the result of the sc instruction. In the case
where we simply load a non-zero value (ie. there's contention for the
lock) the address will not be clobbered & we can simply branch back to
repeat the load from memory without reloading the address into k0.

The primary motivation for this change is that it moves the target of
the bnez instruction to an instruction within the LL/SC loop (the LL
itself), which we know contains no other memory accesses & therefore
isn't affected by Loongson3 LL/SC errata.
