Fix Kernel crash for MIPS rel6 in jump label branch function.

Insert Branch instruction instead of NOP to make sure assembler don't patch code in forbidden slot. In jump label function, it might be possible to patch Control Transfer Instructions(CTIs) into forbidden slot, which will generate Reserved Instruction exception in MIPS release 6.
