MIPS: unaligned: Prevent EVA instructions on kernel unaligned accesses
Commit c177121 ("MIPS: kernel: unaligned: Handle unaligned accesses for EVA") allowed unaligned accesses to be emulated for EVA. However, when emulating regular load/store unaligned accesses, we need to use the appropriate "address space" instructions for that. Previously, an unaligned load/store instruction in kernel space would have used the corresponding EVA instructions to emulate it which led to segmentation faults because of the address translation that happens with EVA instructions. This is now fixed by using the EVA instruction only when emulating EVA unaligned accesses.
