MIPS: Avoid overoptimization by GCC.
Without this, it's possible that LTO will discard the calls to
set_except_vector() in the probe for the DADDI overflow bug resulting in a
kernel crash like this:
[...]
Mount-cache hash table entries: 256
Checking for the daddi bug... Integer overflow[#1]:
Cpu 0
$ 0 : 0000000000000000 0000000010008ce1 0000000000000001 0000000000000000
$ 4 : 7fffffffffffedcd ffffffff81410000 0000000000000030 000000000000003f
[...]
There are other similar places in the kernel so we've just been lucky
that GCC's been tolerant.
