MIPS: Fix execution hazard during watchpoint register probe Writing a value to a WatchLo* register creates an execution hazard, so if its value is then read before that hazard is cleared then said value may be invalid. The mips_probe_watch_registers function must therefore clear the execution hazard between setting the match bits in a WatchLo* register & reading the register back in order to check which are set. This fixes intermittent incorrect watchpoint register probing on some MIPS cores such as interAptiv & proAptiv.
