Subject: MIPS: CPS: Stop dangling delay slot from has_mt.
From: Paul Burton <[email protected]>
commit 1e5fb282f8eda889776ee83f9214d5df9edaa26d upstream.
The has_mt macro ended with a branch, leaving its callers with a delay slot that would be executed if Config3.MT is not set. However it would not be executed if Config3 (or earlier Config registers) don't exist which makes it somewhat inconsistent at best. Fill the delay slot in the macro & fix the mips_cps_boot_vpes caller appropriately.
