Subject: MIPS: Handle microMIPS jumps in the same way as MIPS32/MIPS64 jumps

From: Paul Burton <[email protected]>

commit 096a0de427ea333f56f0ee00328cff2a2731bcf1 upstream.

is_jump_ins() checks for plain jump ("j") instructions since commit e7438c4b893e ("MIPS: Fix sibling call handling in get_frame_info") but that commit didn't make the same change to the microMIPS code, leaving it inconsistent with the MIPS32/MIPS64 code. Handle the microMIPS encoding of the jump instruction too such that it behaves consistently.
