MIPS re-enables interrupts on its idle routine and performs a TIF_NEED_RESCHED check afterwards before putting the CPU to sleep. The IRQs firing between the check and the 'wait' instruction may set the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag. In order to deal with this possible race, IRQs interrupting __r4k_wait() rollback their return address to the beginning of __r4k_wait() so that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is checked again before going back to sleep. However idle IRQs can also queue timers that may require a tick reprogramming through a new generic idle loop iteration but those timers would go unnoticed here because __r4k_wait() only checks TIF_NEED_RESCHED. It doesn't check for pending timers. Fix this with fast-forwarding idle IRQs return address to the end of the idle routine instead of the beginning, so that the generic idle loop handles both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and pending timers. CONFIG_CPU_MICROMIPS has been removed along with the nop instructions. There, NOPs are 2 byte in size, so change the code with 3 _ssnop which are always 4 byte and remove the ifdef. Added ehb to make sure the hazard is always cleared. Fixes: c65a548 ("[MIPS] Fix potential latency problem due to non-atomic cpu_wait.")
