Correct a regression introduced with 8453eebd [MIPS: Fix strnlen_user() return value in case of overlong strings.] causing assembler warnings and broken code generated in __strnlen_kernel_nocheck_asm: arch/mips/lib/strnlen_user.S: Assembler messages: arch/mips/lib/strnlen_user.S:64: Warning: Macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions in a branch delay slot with the CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS option set, resulting in the function looping indefinitely upon mounting NFS root. Use conditional assembly to avoid a microMIPS code size regression. Using $at unconditionally would cause such a regression as there are no 16-bit instruction encodings available for ALU operations using this register. Using $v1 unconditionally would produce short microMIPS encodings, but would prevent this register from being used across calls to this function. The extra LI operation introduced is free, replacing a NOP originally scheduled into the delay slot of the branch that follows. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
