MIPS: lib: Provide MIPS64r6 __multi3() for GCC < 7
Some versions of GCC suboptimally generate calls to the __multi3() intrinsic for MIPS64r6 builds, resulting in link failures due to the missing function: LD vmlinux.o MODPOST vmlinux.o kernel/bpf/verifier.o: In function `kmalloc_array': include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3' fs/select.o: In function `kmalloc_array': include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3' ... We already have a workaround for this in which we provide the instrinsic, but we do so selectively for GCC 7 only. Unfortunately the issue occurs with older GCC versions too - it has been observed with both GCC 5.4.0 & GCC 6.4.0. MIPSr6 support was introduced in GCC 5, so all major GCC versions prior to GCC 8 are affected and we extend our workaround accordingly to all MIPS64r6 builds using GCC versions older than GCC 8.
